Figuring things out

Sometimes you just like to figure things out for yourself. That goes for adults AND babies! I came into the diningroom yesterday late afternoon and found Connor walking through with the box of Cheerios I'd set up on the dining table that morning (slob!) having no clue he could get to; or any thought that he'd even TRY. NEVER underestimate your children!

I decided to just grab up the camera and run with things and see what became of it all. I got a BIG laugh out of it all and hope you'll share in my amusement...

Here he is, just getting started. He KNOWS what's in there, the problem is getting it OUT!

Better double-check there's something in there before I work at this too hard

Aughhhh!!!!!! (for those of you that don't speak 14 month old baby language, that, at this moment in time means "MOM!!!!!!! Jared's trying to take this away from me!!!!! Or maybe he's just trying to help me, but I don't want to take any chances and am yelling because I know you'll help me!!! MOM!!!!!! MOMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!! HEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" something like that anyway....)

Someone should really make a cereal bag better suited to the length of a baby's arm! This is WORK maneuvering my arm AND the bag to reach down in far enough!

But the end result is soooo worth the effort...

Ack! There's two sticking to my hand! That means mommy is going to come at me with a baby wipe and try to clean me up; better do something quick!

Hard work, I'm tellin' ya! Takes some DEEP concentration!

My best advice for ya people, NEVER eat Cheerios one at a time. It's best to just shove them in by the handfull; here, let me show you...
