Most mornings Will (2) and I open the kitchen cabinet to get a snack for him, and the past few mornings, he's spotted a container of macaroons. He gets very excited to see the container and shouts "cookies!" He asks to see them. A little background here: Will is allergic to coconut so he can't eat these cookies, which causes much hesitation in me to show the cookies to him in the spirit of trying to avoid a frustrating situation for him. Much to my surprise, every time we open the container, he picks one up and says, "Mommy, you want one?" So I gladly accept this morning treat (What else am I supposed to do?) and he said, "Mommy, you want another one? I'll get a big one. Here, eat it! Is it yummy?" After a couple, we put the lid back on, and I relish in this sweet moment with the little guy. He amazes me: that he gets that these cookies would make his tummy feel yucky, accepts this reality and shares so joyfully.
