Out of the Mouth the Heart Speaks

So I know I'm not alone in the battle of the candy obsession after Halloween. Every day Jake asks if he can hold his candy (bag). This leads to sorting his candy by category (he is so his father) and even showing me a lolly pop bouquet he arranged in his hand. Eventually a melt down occurs because he doesn't get to eat the candy (either he already had some and is petitioning for more or it's 7 am). Last night Matt and I laughed when Jake's true heart was revealed. Matt took him into bed and was saying prayers. Matt ended with "bless mommy and daddy and Jake and baby Sam" at which point Jake adds "and the candy".
