The Cracker Story

When you feed Kenna a finger food, like a cracker for example, she needs two. She likes to have one for each hand. So the other night I get them down from their chairs and give each of them one cracker "to go". I don't typically do this, food at table only, but just wasn't in the mood to deal. Can you tell "Daddy" is out of town? I watch Deegan walk away to his books and Kenna just kind of "eyeballs" him. She walks over and steals his cracker because he set it down to open a book. She is excited and happy now because she has two. He starts crying and looking at me. I tell her to give it back and with some help she did. But now she starts crying and throwing a minor tantrum. She drops to her knees and puts her head down and cries hysterically. She drops her cracker next to her head. Deegan "eyeballs" this lonely cracker and swoops in and nabs it. He takes off running and she freaks even more. He keeps running and ignores me telling him to stop. He gets down the hall to a dead end because the door is shut. He freezes, I turn on the hall light and then he proceeds to shove the entire cracker in his mouth faster than you've ever seen a kid eat. He then looks up at me with his mouth closed with a look "What?".
