Tricked by a Toddler

As I typed the title I started to wonder - is Quincy still a toddler, or would she now be considered a child? When I hear the word toddler I think of someone who's not very steady on their feet - and she is quiet stable. When do they graduate to childhood?


Anyway, she pulled a fast one on me this morning. We were eating our breakfast, cereal. She was feeding herself while I was feeding me and Max. She got towards the bottom where the cereal thins out in the milk and said:

"Mom, can you help me?"

"No, you're a big girl, and I'm feeding Max, you can do it."

She looked at the bowl for a moment before announcing:

"I'm done!"

"No you're not" I said, as I grabbed the bowl and began scooping together the last of the Cocoa Pebbles to feed to her - that's when I realized, I was just tricked by a toddchild.
