give the dog a bone

It was a terrible day for Lola yesterday when I took a dog treat out of her mouth. What started out as a super fun daily routine has turned into a Mommy-Baby struggle. Lola used to be so good about giving the treat immediately to Bruce but lately it's like she figured out "if he loves these so much then they must be great, I'll try one" She was clearly ticked when I took it away.
What kind of Mother am I to let my baby cry like this? Maybe I should have let her gnaw on the bone for a while. This is a meltdown that lasted a good 15 minutes.

The below video shows the routine when it was good:

Nice bedhead, Lola.

Hey, if those bones are good enough for our first-born, they should be good enough for our babies, right? I say let her chew on it!

Good point Angela, if it's good enough for Bruce then it's good enough for Lola. Beisdes, a bag of dog bones from Sam's beat the price of teething biscuits!
