Connor and his Little Debbie Swiss Cake Roll(s)

Here is a note from Grandma to Uncle Danny…

When Connor spends the night with me, after his bath I ask him if he wants yogurt for a snack before  bed, he shakes his head “no” and then replies “cookie”.  And then follows it up with “two cookies”.  So we head into the kitchen for his bedtime snack.  He points to the refrig where he knows I keep his Little Debbie Swiss Roll Cakes.   I offer other smaller cookies but this one his is favorite.  (I forgot to mention that Victoria and Donnie are big fans of these cakes as well).
So, Connor gets into his seat and anxiously awaits his snack.  As I begin to open the 2-cake package, he makes it known that he wants both the cakes.  So, I give him one on his plate first and proceed to get him a drink of milk.  He picks up the cake and firmly holds it in his hand, never putting it back down onto his plate once.  He holds it so close to himself and nearly halfway under the table like he is trying to hide it.  I remind him to eat slow, small bites but he eats like he is starving.   Before long, he wants the 2nd one and does the same thing firmly guarding his cake close to his body.  Seems like a lot to eat and a little strange how he doesn’t want to let go of the cake, but I finally figured out the “Rest of the story!”.

As I was relaying the story to Donnie, he tells me they share the 2-cake pkg together, Donnie getting one and Connor getting one.  Then Donnie mentions that he also kinda helps Connor eat his cake as well.

So, besides Connor convincing me that he is a “2-cookie boy” and it is allowed, I now know that Connor holds on to his cake for dear life so his Daddy doesn’t eat it on him.

Connor loves his “Little Debs” at Grandma’s house best!
