Oreos

Oreos are Kimmie's favorite food. Unfortunately about an hour after eating them she has a sugar crash accompanied by a screaming temper tantrum, especially if she has the oreos as a snack on a mostly empty stomach. I prefer that she have them at the end of a meal to try to avoid the hysteria.

Kimmie also has an exceptional memory.

Yesterday Kimmie wanted a snack and was intently rummaging in the cupboard looking for the cookies. I was busy with something so her sister helped her find the package. Kimmie then opened another cupboard to get out the bowl we put her snacks in. Her sister placed three cookies in the bowl and Kimmie sat down to snack and color. Surprisingly, Kimmie got up and left the table leaving a cookie in her bowl. After a few minutes her sister asked if she could eat the remaining cookie. I responded, "sure, Kimmie went off and left it."

It wasn't long before Kimmie was back looking for the last cookie that she knew she had left in the bowl. I told her sister that Kimmie caught her. We replaced the cookie and all was well after that.

She's a funny girl.
