A few weeks ago I made Rice Krispie treats for the kids. They loved them. Daddy and I made some again last week. But this time John got to watch and “help.” Now every time you ask John what he wants for a snack he says “Rice Krispies!” Unfortunately the batch we made last week didn’t last long, but that didn’t stop John from asking for them.

Tonight after dinner, I asked John what he wanted for dessert. He sat there quietly. Daddy’s eyes lit up and he called John over. Daddy pointed John to the counter, where I had a box of Rice Krispies. He looks at the box an says “I know what I want for dessert. Guess!” I said something ridiculous and John says “I’ll just tell you. I want Rice Krispies treats!” Then he proceeded to run around the kitchen trying to “help.” Probably would have been easier to make them ahead of time without our helpers.
