We held out from giving Elijah cookies for almost two years, but how can you resist the temptation to give your child a homemade oatmeal raisin cookie? Naturally, we gave in. Needless to say, he loved it. Mmmmmm, cookies and milk! He liked it so much that he said the word right away, "Cookie!" and asked for another one. (That is probably the only word he says that's absolutely right; "goggie", meaning "doggie", is a close second.) We said later.
We kept our word and offered another cookie the next day. He got all excited, but didn't finish it. Not sure if it was a big lunch or he got distracted by a toy, but he left a small piece on his tray and said "Ah-dah!"
The next (third) cookie got eaten only about half way. His eyes lit up at the sight of the fourth, but when it came right down to it, he pushed away my hand and shook his head. I guess two years of training in vegetable appreciation are paying off. ;)
