As you may recall (see below), my daughter has been experimenting in not telling the truth. Last night at dinner was one of those times. I just happened to be shamelessly bribing her with Halloween candy to eat her lentil soup. All she had to do was eat one last spoonful with- gasp- one carrot on it, and she could have some smarties (smarties are a new love. She calls them 'motties'. Or 'botties', it's hard to tell with a 2yr-old. This new obsession has just happened to coincide with potty-training, and as 'potty' and 'motties' can sound very similar, for a full day I was super excited that she was so into the potty).
She is very good at keeping food in her mouth for extended periods of time to spit out in some inconspicuous spot later, so I've taken to checking her mouth after dinner. I checked it- clean- but something seemed fishy, she never eats carrots without dramatic flailing! Sure enough, upon second examination, there was the carrot- UNDER HER TONGUE. Where do they learn these tricks? She's not in daycare, so she must have figured it out on her own.
Diabolical genius, that one.
