"Let me just share that last [bit]," the actress told her little girl while Kaavia dug into her bowl of pasta — and let out a grunt of displeasure as her mom tried to get in on the action. "There's, like, three pieces left," Union told Kaavia after taking a short break to hold in a laugh off camera. "You could have one and Mom could have one."

Union eventually managed to procure a piece of pasta — but was thwarted by Kaavia, who grabbed it right back and said, "No, Mama!" before placing it back in her bowl.

As soon as the Bring it On actress left the room after leaving out a tray containing Bitsy's Brainfood, the then-18-month old quickly ran over and took a bite out of her favorite snack. Union then returned to the room to find Kaavia indulging in the treat. "I thought we were gonna wait? No?" she told her daughter, before allowing her to continue eating. "Go ahead and have the Bitsy's," Union said as Kaavia adorably ran off.
