I knew I knew better

We had pancakes and waffles for breakfast today. Usually Jessica gets syrup and Xander doesn't. He's definitely reached the stage that he wants to have what his sister has, no matter what it is. Sure enough, as soon as I poured the syrup onto Jessica's plate he started up with "Eh eh eh" which means "I want that too." I put a tiny amount on his plate. He picked up a pancake, dipped it in syrup and sucked off the syrup. This continued until the syrup was gone. He did manage to ingest a little bit of pancake along the way.
