Delicious Chocolate

The holidays are an excuse for those of us who love chocolate to indulge a bit more than usual instead of limiting our consumption throughout the year.  This morning I didn't need to limit my consumption but the consumption of my nine month old daughter, Savannah.  You see, in the mornings I wake up and sweep the floor then eat breakfast while my daughter plays at my feet.  This morning I opted to shake things up a bit.  Instead of sweeping after I set up the morning barricades (so Savannah wouldn't find her way to things she is not supposed to) I prepared my breakfast.  While I eat Savannah has to eat or she gets mad so I gave her a small plain piece of bread to munch on while sitting at my feet.  She decided to wander around a little while eating her bread which is totally fine.  In between bites I would look over and make sure she was doing fine.  All of a sudden I looked and saw some brown green spit dripping from her mouth.  I rush to her only to see she found an M&M on the floor.  She wasn't supposed to have a taste of sweets until her first birthday when she could eat a mini cake just for her.  Alas, my plan was foiled all because I had to eat this morning before I swept.  Lesson learned: sweep first, eat later.
