There are very few foods that we know our picky toddler will
always eat, but dry Cheerios is one of them. I find Cheerios in the floor of my
car, under the couch, in the bottom of the toy box, in the hamper, in the yard,
everywhere. Quinn calls them his “she-shows,” or sometimes just “shows” for
short.
Whenever he sees Hubs eating a bowl of Cheerios and
milk for breakfast, he always asks for a bite. So one morning, desperate to
find a new breakfast food that Q was not yet bored with, I asked him if he
wanted to eat milk on Cheerios like Daddy does.
“Yeah!” Q shouted. “She-shows! She-shows!” Then he took off
running into the kitchen. Since Q is rarely excited about food, this is pretty
big news around our house.
At first, Quinn insisted on eating his cereal and “mup” (his
word for milk) all by himself. “Self!” he informed me and reached for the
spoon.
After dumping several spoonfuls all over himself, he let me
help him, but watching him try a few times was pretty funny. I’m happy to
report that he ate the whole bowl and asked for more.
Every childhood needs Cheerios.
Note: If you blow
the video up to full screen, it will be super grainy because Blogger compresses
them. Bummer. Also, if you're viewing this post in your email, the video won't
show up because Feedburner is weird like that. Double bummer. Please click on
