Elana had her first bowl of "Cheerios" (the cereal not the sausages) this morning she ate the with her fingers it was messy but I allowed it (it was hard not to control her and I did fail at times and spoon feed her in between)
But I tried giving her dry cheerios to see what she'd do (all american books/blogs with children have them eating cheerios) and she tipped the bowl out on the floor so I picked them up and only gave her a handful at a time.
She took them out of my hands 3 or 4 at a time and lined them up on the floor, sorted them into piles and then ate them. She waited until she got all of them out of my hand and onto the floor in piles before she'd eat one. She ate them all and came back for more repeating the process.
(she's also only wearing one shoe today - she's shoe obsessed)
Has anyone else noticed their child doing something similar or does anyone else have any quirks they'd like to share about their child/brother/sister/cousin/nephew/neice/self?
