We had pizza for dinner on Sunday. I ordered a spinach and feta pizza, and Olivia picked the spinach off the pizza and left it on the side of her plate.
Monday: We made leftover pizza for lunch. Olivia was fussy while eating it, so I did her a favor and picked the spinach off and ate it. Wrong move. Apparently, the spinach was more than just a condiment, me eating it launched a 20 minutes tantrum.
About 15 minutes into the tantrum (and a time out,) she stuck her hand into my mouth and dug around for the spinach that I had taken from her. This was really funny. (The thing about most toddler tantrums is that they are pretty amusing if you are not late for a doctor appointment or work.)
Now, your opportunity to be an armchair parent. Use the comments field to tell me how I should have handled the situation.

Do you think she would have let you have her spinach if you asked her to share it with you?
Sharing is not a concept she is good with yet. See today's post.
