max and emma always get a small treat after dinner if they eat a decent amount of food off their plates.  they can pick to have an oreo, some marshmallows, m&ms, etc.  tonight max picked to have marshmallows and emma picked an oreo.  max shoved all the marshmallows (probably 4 or 5) in his mouth before emma had even started on her oreo.  emma had broken her oreo into smaller pieces and was eating it slowly.  max asked to have an oreo, and we told him "no" because he had picked marshmallows for his treat.  he looked over at emma's partially-eaten oreo, grabbed the pieces off the counter, shoved them in his mouth, and stated, "i got an oreo!"  you gotta watch out for this kid.  he is determined to get what he wants.  as my mom put it, he's a survivor! 

max LOVES to tease emma.  incessantly.  so he constantly takes toys from her and runs through the house yelling, "na na na na na na!" and laughing hysterically while emma tries to get her toy back.  he is the perfect "annoying little brother."  i've decided that living with emma and max is like living with jamie and chris: the poor little girl is minding her own business when little brother comes along with the sole purpose of driving her crazy - just because he thinks it's hilarious.  they really do love each other though, and at least i can say that my life is DEFINITELY not boring!
