only child perks

the other day, dalia admitted with a sly grin that she liked having jack and kindin at school.  I giggled that she admitted to what's so painfully obvious!  within just two short weeks, she has already become quite accustomed to an only child lifestyle.  the perks include:

-a LOT of hand holding! "mommy, hold my hand pwease"
-a regular playdate with 4 toddler cuties
-she often gets 'copcorn' on target errands
-free reign to sample her sibling's carseats
-yogurt and goldfish for lunch or self-serve nutella sandwiches

-sometimes, she gets naptime with mommy rather than in her bed
-piggyback rides to the park

-sneaking into siblings' lipgloss collections (and a variety of other collections)
-helping herself to the gummy 'spidermans' (vitamins)
-trying on everyone's 'shoop shops' (flip flops)
and
-eating 'licky' (minty) gum whenever she pleases
