Alice does seem to like her food served au natural. This morning I fed Charles some Crispix cereal and Alice grabbed at it. Using my keen Daddy sense, I was able to determine that
I sprung in to action, placing Alice in her high chair and putting both Crispix and Frosted Mini-Wheats on her tray. As usual, she ate a just a couple of them and then climbed out of the chair.
I thought that was the end of it, but as I was helping Corwin prepare for school I heard the ring of a bowl on the floor and a cry of dismay from Charles. Alice had pulled Charles’ bowl of Crispix off the table and spilled it on the floor. Some of the Crispix had remained in the bowl, a problem which Alice swiftly fixed by tilting the bowl until its contents were also on the floor. Alice then proceeded to dig in to the Crispix with some real gusto. Since she’s such a petite flower, I let her enjoy herself while I comforted a distraught (and now breakfastless) Charles with promises of a refilled bowl of cereal! and pushed Corwin to get ready for the bus.
