DD asked if she could have some of her chocolate reindeer that was still unopened for christmas (I know I know, IABVU for still having unopened christmas chocolate :o ). I said yes, and that I'd get her some in a minute when I'd finished what I was doing. Few minutes later DD appears 'I had a tiny bit of one of my reindeer!'. 'Shit!' Thinks I, I rushed to the kitchen to find that she had indeed had a tiny bit and not scoffed the whole thing like I would have done

AIBU?
To be astonished at my three year olds self restraint!?!

Haha, my 4yo is the same. He asked for some chocolate santa yesterday and had a tiny bit, then offered me and DH the rest

Mine's always been like this. I can give him a huge bag of sweets, tell him he can have 3 and to give the rest back which he always does. Never whines for more. Astounds my friends, apparently it's 'not normal'

That's lovely!
DD is the same. She's 4.5 and since she was about 18months, my Mum gives her (and DS) a fun size packet of buttons when she sees her. The odd time Mum hasn't a small packet, she'll buy a regular one, and DD eats half and hands me the rest as it's "too much"! DS (2.5) on the other hand, drags a chair to the treat drawer and helps himself to whatever will fit in his mouth...
