Rice Crispy Squares and lies...lies....lies !

Last night
J had asked me to make her rice crispy squares....as they are her favorite treat. :)
With dinner, the library, feeding, changing, reading, rocking, putting babies down, cleaning up, it was 9:30 pm and no rice crispy squares.
I decided to surprise her and started making them that late any ways.
J came in the kitchen with a big grateful smile on her face and we talked while I stirred the melting goodness.
Sydney who we thought was asleep piped in, "MOM, WHAT'S THAT?" she called from her room.
"I'm doing dishes honey." I lied....thinking she could hear the pan rocking back and forth on the stove. (I know, I know...shut up)
"WHAT ARE YOU COOKING?" Syd yells again.
"I'm just doing dishes.....you should be sleeping."
After a quiet moment Sydney calls out, "I SMELL SOMETHING!"
Me and J laugh hysterically, like we'd been caught.
"It's just dish soap." my lie grows....(just like they tell you they will)
J eats the spoon and I cover the rest until morning and we go to bed.

This morning
I crawled in bed with Syd, tickling her back and stroking her hair trying to wake her up. She stretched and rolled over but would not wake up.
"I made you rice crispy squares for breakfast." I whispered.
In her most shaky and still 1/2 sleeping voice, "rectangles ??......the sticky ones?"
Now smiling all the way to my heart...."Yip baby....sticky rectangles."

These simple conversations are the things that make me want to squeeze her whole body, and kiss her face off.
