I’m sure I’ve said plenty of “mom-things” over the past 19 months but tonight at dinner I had a moment of realization that yes, I am a Mom. We introduced Julia to ice cream sandwiches a few days ago and she LOVES them. She does not have a big sweet tooth so usually desserts are not a big thing for her; she typically ends her dinner with mandarin oranges or applesauce. However, for the past few days it has been ice cream sandwiches – she is addicted (she comes by it honestly as both Andrew and I love them as well).
Anyway, tonight we had jambalaya for dinner. Rice, sausage, tomatoes – all her favorite things and I knew she would like it, but of course being a toddler she refused to try it. She ate all her veggies and fruit and then asked for an ice cream sandwich. More specifically, she pointed at the freezer and then at her mouth and we knew exactly what she was asking for. Then I heard the words come out of my mouth: “you can have one of those if you have a bite of your rice.” And then I had the thought, “wow, I really am a mom and I can’t believe it worked!”
