Sneaky girl

Ava is definitely a little sneaky thing...she manages to get a few things by William, but I'm usually pretty on top of her tricks...did I mention she's three!!! seriously. One example, She doesn't like raisins, but since they help keep her regular (too much info..sorry), I make her eat three every day....I know, bad Mommy! Anyways...sometimes she eats them no problem, and sometimes she makes such a big deal about it. So, a couple days ago, she was sitting at the table and had her three raisins infront of her. She was acting like they were the size of golf balls and making a big deal about it...so I was going to make sure to watch her eat them, since she is known to be a little sneaky sometimes. William was also in the kitchen..making some kind of Chinese dish (and when he cooks, he gets chatty...like he wants your full attention)...so he was asking me questions, and I was watching Ava like a hawk to make sure she ate her raisins...I turned my head for 5 seconds, turned around and she's making an over-dramatic chewing motion...a little exaggerative. I ask her where her raisins are and she says "They were yummy!"...so, she goes and plays. A minute later, I look on the floor, she dropped them while I was talking to william and pretended to eat them....needless to say, she had to come back and eat FOUR raisins...she is tricky!
William was in awe of her sense of manipulation at three years old, but I have to say, I'm a little worried....got my eye on her! She's so funny though
