A watched timer never moves...

...that is at least according to a certain 2 year old boy! :)  Tyler ate a ridiculous helping of spaghetti, green beans, and garlic bread tonight for dinner so as a means of a reward, we offered him a brownie after dinner.  The only catch was (because of his enormous belly) he had to wait 30 minutes to eat it.  He definitely understands what a timer is and how he has to wait till it goes off to be able to get down from the table, get up from time out, or in this case, eat his brownie.  What he doesn't understand is how long 30 minutes is! :)  So, I put the timer on the refrigerator so he could watch it count down.  He watched that timer for just about all of the 30 minutes!

 28 minutes left

 You get the idea. :)  

But at last, the timer did ring!!

 And the smiles on his face were priceless. :)

Peanut butter frosted brownie...I think this boy will sleep well tonight! ;)
