ice cream cone incident

We have never offered Nolan an ice cream cone. I had no idea how behind Nolan was on the sweet treat scale of things. His friend Ruby expertly enjoyed the treat while Nolan practiced taking bigger licks and bites and let it drip all over the place. His mouth was also the messiest in the bunch. Nolan has only ever had one sucker, a gift from the hostess of a Mexican restaurant. When John saw it, he was properly horrified being the son of a dentist, but it was too late. Nolan was hooked. He hasn't gotten another yet, but periodically he will turn food into a sucker. Like recently, I was playing with his food and placed an elbow noodle on a sliver of carrot to which Nolan gleefully stated, "A sucker!" and ate multiples.
