Pictures AND 1,000 Words

Sure, these pictures could speak for themselves, but we all know that I have more than 1,000 words. :p So I'll narrate what was going on this morning when both kids wanted a snack. Sylvie, our carb-lover, would be quite content to eat goldfish every meal of every day.

Brady is mimicking his parents and trying to teach little sister some words. Here he's telling her, "Say goldfish." To which she responded "Deh" and pointed.

"Well, close enough" :)
Funny how it looked like he was training a puppy.
"Good girl, here you go."

Sylvie: "Deh!" (rough translation: "He has goldfish. I want those.")
Brady: chomp, chomp (eating them as fast as he can so he doesn't have to share)
Romey, keeping a close eye on the floor: Please, just drop ONE. Come on! You guys drop Everything else!

I finally solved the "problem" by giving Sylvie her own little bowl. Romey is wondering how he was overlooked when this "solution" was implemented.

Brady told Sylvie they were having a picnic and is trying to explain that to her here. She had no idea what "picnic" meant, but as long as she could keep her mitts on her goldfish- all was well.

And poor Romey still getting the shaft. At this point even Brady acknowledged his injustice...but still didn't share. He's telling him, "Kids eat goldfish. Dogs eat dog food."

Brady showing me his goldfish. And I guess Sylvie is sort of doing that too. :p
