One of my favorite things to do these days is let Leon and Silas pick out one (1) jelly bean from the jelly bean jar we keep around the house for bribery and child trickery. It's winter time and 2 degrees outside so there's nothing much else to do after dark. They love it and request one every hour.
So last night Silas approached me asking for an "Ay-been". How can I resist? So I got the jar out from hiding, and started shaking it to a beat - trying to get these two boys dancing. They immediately jumped into freestyle toddler dance (looks like ants in pants). Right in the middle of their routine, the lid pops off and jellies go flying everywhere.
They both immediately dropped to their bellies on the floor filling both hands and cheeks with beans. When I say immediately, I mean they beat the jelly beans to the floor. That's how fast they got down to business.
The rest of the night was great because anytime they'd come up asking for more I told them there were probably some left in the floor somewhere.
