For some reason Leo decided he wanted to have his snack on the floor on Saturday. I gave him his bowl of Veggie Bootie which he promptly sat down with on the kitchen floor. This might not sound strange. But wait, it gets better. Ellie was playing in another corner of the kitchen and when she saw him eating she immediately bounded towards him with her little speed crawl, smacking her little palms and knees on the wood floor (never one to say no to a snack, my girl). The next thing I knew, she had grabbed the bowl from Leo and dumped the Booty on the floor and next, she was going for the Booty, one big piece into that tiny little mouth (I feed her Booty but break it up into smaller pieces). Not sure what this says about me as a mother, but instead of shreaking in horror and scooping up the Booty as trash, I knelt down and broke the pieces up (the pieces that were on the floor!). And continued to let Ellie and Leo eat them. Wouldn’t want the baby to choke, was my thinking. I probably wouldn’t do this again, but just that one time I think it was ok.
Pictured above, my kids, eating their snack on the kitchen floor. Five second rule anyone? (Don’t miss Leo admiring himself in the reflection of the trash can.)
