Yucky, cookie

Lydia is starting to get smarter and smarter when it comes to sweets. She can spot what she calls "nammies"when she sees it, whether she tried it before or not.
A couple of days ago my friend Deborah and I went on a walk with our kids . We stopped by her husband's office which is located on Stanford campus. Dan showed us a stock room where his department keeps some basic junk food for their students. He offered us some treats. Lydia, who has been sitting contentedly in her stroller munching on her daily allowance of potato sticks saw the sweets. She stood up in her seat, raised her hand with snack up in the air and said "yucky". Then, pointing in our direction she said rather excitedly "cooookie". We laughed so hard. Perfectly good snack turned into yucky stuff the instant the cookie appeared in sight. What can I say, the kid is smart. She did get a cookie mostly for making us laugh.
