Cheerios on My Floor

There are Cheerios on my floor. Not enough to make me wish for a dog. Just enough to get half way through the livingroom before feeling that unmistakable crunch underfoot. The 14 month old was here today. I don't get him very often. He's such a cutie although a bit awkward to handle with his helmet on.



He loves stories but tends to slouch on my lap and when I try to shift him to a more comfortable position I can't see the book through his helmeted head. No one can say when he can do away with the head gear. I suppose it will be when his soft spot dissapears and there is no hope of his head rounding out any further.
I don't know if I should bother to sweep up the Cheerios as he'll be back tomorrow with more of them. Maybe he'll clean up the Cheerios on my floor. (Stop gasping. I'm just kidding. DH will get out the broom and dustpan when he steps on his first Cheerio.)

It looks like he is eating a cookie or cracker in the picture - no Cheerios in sight. He really is a cute little fellow.

I neglected to get a photo of him scattering his Cheerios. This one's from the summer.

You have truly been there, done that! Rex would probably disdain cheerios
just like he does dog biscuits.

Isn't that strange? Our Angel turns her nose up at kitty treats and all dairy products except yogurt.

there is probably enough food on my floor that you could eat off of it but I would not recomend it.

Sounds like you need a dog.

What a precious little boy. Nothing wrong with a few Cheerios on the floor. Just make sure he does not take them out of the dogs mouth and eat them.

We no longer have a dog but I'm sure he does that at home.

Cute kid. Never had a Cheerios problem and when I was a kid, there were no Cheerios. I'm sure my Mom had her hands full anyway.

Aww, he is such a cutie :) We have a dog but I still find cheerios in more places than should be

I'm sure I'll find a few more when we move the furniture to make room for the Christmas tree.

Dogs are good for those cleanups, that's about the only time I wish I had a dog instead of a cat.

Angel likes her Cheerios in a bowl of milk, skip the Cheerios.

If you saw a list of what kids put in their mouths at that age you won't think anything of a few rogue cheerios1

John, I raised three kids of my own and I was a professional child care provider for over 20 years, licensed for 13 of them. I WROTE the list of what kids put in their mouths.
