Innate Candy Detection

How do they know????? How, at 21 months, can they look at a candy wrapper of a candy bar they've never seen before and know immediately to reach out their tiny hands, opening and closing, want to grab hold and get chocolate all over their hands, whining, "tee-tee" (or however you child says candy!)???? How?????? I got Halloween candy that is mostly unfamiliar to her. I mean, who gives a baby milk duds? Yet, she knows by some built in radar that they obviously taste good!!! She can sense the sweet taste and smell that chocolate scent. And when i don't respond to the open hands and whining, she rubs her tummy saying, "peeeeeeeeace!" And so it begins before she even knows what she's asking for!

Happy Halloween! :)

Seriously. There are foods that I offer the babe that she will immediately not even try. But she always seems to know that a sweet will be tasty.
