Cheerios

This blog idea came to me during breakfast. I was eating my granola, yogurt, and blueberry breakfast and I have recently (this week) started sitting my son beside me in his high chair at our breakfast bar. What is he doing? You got it; eating (playing) with his multigrain Cheerios. I am hoping he'll start feeding himself a little more enthusiastically (the floor seems to get most of them). I also don't want him to grow up so fast....

It's interesting to watch him eat (or not as the case seems to be more often than not). If I put the cheerios in a bowl he'll put his hand in and move his fingers back and forth like his does when there's water in there. Most of the cheerios end up on his tray where he'll pick them up one at a time and even try to get one or two in his mouth. These days he's trying to figure out what his tongue can do, most of the time he uses it to push food out of his mouth, but ever now and again food does get to his stomach.

My cheerio of the day? Sharing a quiet morning breakfast with my son.
The honey on the cheerios? Every time a cheerio gets into his mouth and stays there.
