"Look what I did!"

The local Mom and Pop hardware store in our neighborhood comes complete with a penny candy display at the check out counter. This week I took Clare and Wyatt with me to pick up a few tools for yard work and of course a piece of penny candy. Wyatt quickly licked his candy into a fine point and said: "Look what I did Mom!" I was sufficiently impressed. After a few minutes, I noticed that Clare, who normally hovers at my knees all day, was missing. I knew she couldn't be far so I kept working with out interruption (trimming rose bushes takes serious concentration). Soon I hear Clare calling from the other side of the yard: "Momma, wook! Wook wa I did!" I find Clare sitting with her candy sucked down to a itty-bitty point just like Wyatt's. Clever mimic.
