Two Bites

Sometimes I have to coax Dakota to eat her food. I usually say "Just take two bites and then you can ____________" (Fill in the blank). So the other morning Dakota found a stash of cookies and brought them up to my room. I told her she could have a cookie after she ate breakfast. I gave her breakfast and she ate it. She then came back into my room and offered me one of two cookies she had in her hands. I told her she could have hers but that "Mamma doesn't want a cookie right now." She kept insisting, so I told her to put in on my desk. She did. Then she climbed up on my lap and next thing I know, she grabs the cookie, turns towards me with the cookie up to my lips and says "Just two biii-iites. Just twoooo bii-ites" in a sing-song voice kind of mother like. Who could resist that? So I took a bite! :)
