He ate cheerios?

May 12th, 2008 | By Kendra

This past Sunday I went to the nursery to pick up my son. As I was gathering the diaper bag, blanket and son, I asked the worker how he did.

worker : "good. he was a little fussy"

me: "yeah, he’s been teething"

worker : "he loved his cheerios, though!"

me : "cheerios?"

worker: "yeah, he and Paul [another baby in the nursery] sat on the floor and ate their cheerios together. They were so cute!"

me : "he ate cheerios?" (still processing the fact that I was not there to coach my son through this momentous childhood milestone, while the poor nursery worker started to get nervous)

worker: "oh…was he not supposed to have them?" (she walks over to the sign in chart and sees that I circled "no" under cheerios)

worker: "oh, my! I must have read the chart wrong!"

me *laughing at the thought of it* : That’s ok! How funny. We’ve never given him cheerios. So…how did he do with them? Did he like them?" (I thought for sure he would have choked on cheerios)

worker : "good…he took his time with each cheerio…he was very cute"

me: "that’s hilarious!" (*laughing more as I imagined him on the floor eating cheerios with his nursery buddy, Paul)

So…my son crossed a finger-food milestone without me.

    That is so funny! I’ve had things like this happen before and you think “how could you move past this milestone without me!”

    I just came across your blog and love it, by the way.


  2. Cute! Sorry you missed it, though.


  3. Sashwhy, don’t worry, Cheerios are nearly impossible to choke on. They practically melt in your mouth!
