Re: Sonya (with Cassie) and Tefe and Aurie
The short reach meant Cassie was able to reach for the brownie the other girl was offering her, but not before Sonya was able to hold her back. "Thanks for helping," The last thing she wanted was to cause a tantrum in the middle of a public event. "But really, she needs to eat something healthful first-brownie comes later."
Sonya accepted the brownie from the little girl and wrapped it in another napkin. "If I let her have whatever junk food she wanted," This was said to Tefe, with a hint of resolve. "She'd end up sick all over the place."
And for a three year old, that was a challenge in of itself. Whoever claimed the terrible twos didn't consider how bad a three year old could be-all the speed and independent streak of a two year old, but more advanced in way of speed and sneakiness.
