The Great Cookie Caper
On a whim today I made monster cookies. This recipe combines all of the great things that you can put in a cookie: peanut butter, oatmeal, chocolate chips, and M&Ms. After the cooled I gave Eli a piece. Not the whole cookie. I know better than that. Just a small piece. I am not sure if it ever made it to his mouth, though, because when I saw him next he had crumbled the cookie onto the kitchen floor and was in the process of stomping through it. What occurred next felt like a scene from Mission: Impossible:
Good Morning, Stephanie. This is Eli, age 17 months. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to catch the running toddler before he reaches the living room and stains the carpet with his chocolate covered socks. This message will self-destruct in 5 seconds. Good luck, mom.
It is amazing how fast you can move when your carpet is at stake. Mission accomplished.

Isn't it funny how we just know what they are going to do next! I guess that is Mommy Radar!
Good work with that mission - in the future they are likely to become more difficult!
