Katherine was eating breakfast yesterday, an array of strawberries, yogurt, and loose Cheerios.<\/p>\n
So I sat down at the table with her with a bowl of Cheerios and milk, sprinkled some sugar on them, and dug in.<\/p>\n
At which point Katherine decided that only Cheerios in a bowl, with milk, would do for her.<\/p>\n
Said bowl is provided to her.<\/p>\n
Dave, done with his Cheerios, slurps some milk from his bowl.<\/p>\n
Margie warns, “That’s probably not the behavior you want to model.”<\/p>\n
Dave rolls his eyes, totters over to the sink and slurps his milk there, out of her sight.<\/p>\n
Katherine finishes her Cheerios. Lifts bowl. Slurps.<\/p>\n
Sigh.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
