How Many Licks Does it Take

To Get To the Center of a Tootsie Roll Pop?

Well for Lydia . . . not that many.

 We gave Lydia her first sucker the other day to entertain her while we played a card game. It was the last piece of candy from her Halloween stash. She LOVED it. (Well duh Mom). Here we can join in with her and her first lollipop journey. Prepare to see some cuteness.

After her first mouthful of her Banana Tootsie Pop, (weird flavor huh?) Lydia immediately gave this face which she makes to show she is pleased.

Then . . . she kept eating her sucker with the same silly grin on her face.

And here is our final result .... an I LOVE CANDY face.

So pretty much we learn that Lydia loves candy and it makes her really happy ...and silly. She ate the sucker so fast! Seriously. We were surprised how fast she made it to the tootsie roll in the center. I was nervous about the huge mess she would make so we kept her in her high-chair. The only mess we ended up with was a dribble of sticky drool down her chin. I still would be nervous to let her run around with one, however. 

I don't know how you can look at that last picture and not break out in a silly grin yourself. :)
