Sometimes, you just gotta say yes.

When Nolan not-so-subtly asked me for a doughnut hole the other day,

my first inclination was to say no.

"It will make a huge mess."

"Too much sugar."

"Will the other moms around think I am a pushover?"

"He might shove the whole thing in his mouth..."

But instead I just said yes and then sat back and watched as he thoroughly enjoyed every little morsel that actually made its way into his mouth.

And then I realized...

"He is really enjoying this moment."

"This is a new flavor."

"Messes aren't such a big deal."

Delicious!
