Another growth spurt?

Since about two days ago, you are quite the little food consumer, which we are guessing means you are perhaps hitting a new growth spurt.  Wouldn't surprise me one bit, as you haven't done so in a while.  You even tried some new things--nothing major, but still...  When we made fondue the other night, you ate the cheese chunk that the processor didn't catch.  And then you wanted another, and another...  If that wasn't enough, you kept asking for one of the blue canisters that are kind of hidden on one of the counters.  One of them used to have Hershey's kisses in it, but is empty now.  I showed you the other day that there weren't any, yet you asked again.  This time, you wanted me to open the container that has dry spaghetti in it.  I handed you a piece, and by golly, you crunched a bite of that (daddy told you he likes to eat it that way).  Unlike the cheese, you weren't impressed with this and didn't even finish the piece you started lol.
Today, while I was cleaning up the kitchen a bit, you spied the cornstarch on the counter and said, "I want corn, mommy."  Alrighty--went to the pantry, grabbed a can, you made me put it back so that you could get it yourself, and you proceeded to eat about half the can.  Usually, you want everything cooled off a lot; today, you kept asking me if the bite I was about to give you was the hottest one, to which I always replied affirmatively ;)  Oh, and you also sang, "Chain of Fools" while we cleaned.  Yes, I said "we"--you LOVE helping me clean (really!!) and insist on "getting all the bubbles away" (the spray cleaner 409 bubbles lol).  Sure wish this would last...  You decided this would be a great time to come and take a massive amount of pictures with your phone (you have an old iPhone 4 that doesn't have service--just the apps and such work).  It's always funny to look at your photo collection; you tend to have numerous shots of the same thing, many of yourself.
This evening, for dessert, I made chocolate malts and of course, you got your own little one.  While drinking it, I had you on my lap and you turned towards me and said, "I like mommy," and nuzzled into my neck.  So very very sweet!  We were watching TV at the time and a commercial came on for a social media game called "Clash of Clans".  I remarked to Kevin that it must be making a ton of money to be advertising on TV now, and daddy remarked about how social media games are projected to be the most profitable ever in 2015.  Moments after the commercial was over, you said, "I want Clash of Clans on red iPhone, daddy." We all erupted in laughter--how on Earth did you manage to know that was the type of game it is, and then to request it for your phone?!?!  No, sorry, deary, that game's a bit too advanced for you, you will have to wait ;)
A bit later, it was time to get you in bed and we did the usual routine of reading the French books.  Daddy had closed the door when he came in, not realizing that it was locked (on the outside).  Lately, you have a thing about locking all the doors that have them (the push button type).  Thankfully, we got Kevin's attention and he came down the hall to liberate us lol.  You weren't happy about going to sleep, but I managed to get you calmed down by reminding you that right now it is snowing--we are finally supposed to get more than just a couple of inches, so I told you that we can play in it and hopefully make a snowman tomorrow!  Love you lots :)
