Or cold, dirty waffles from the TRASH CAN?
The other morning I made Oliver Ego waffles for breakfast, and all he did was throw them on the floor and beg to be removed from his high chair. Finally, I gave in. I swept up the waffle from the floor, put it in the trash, and then got Oliver out of his chair and cleaned him up.
Later that day, I'm at work and I get my usual call from Jon & Oliver, and Jon mentions that he caught Oliver eating waffles...and apparently he was getting these tasty morsels from the garbage can.
Now we are constantly finding him trying to lift up the garbage can lidsto ALL garbage cans in the entire house!
After I freaked out, I figured there were many other ways I could think about this disgusting event...
First of all, Jon, the usually very strict Daddy, is finally loosening up and letting little Oliver do more "exploring" of his world which will help him developmentally.
Second, OBVIOUSLY, this dumpster diving is less of an eating disorder, and more of a sign of INTELLIGENCE, because Oliver clearly SAW me put those waffles in the trash, and therefore when he was hungry he remembered where he could get a quick snack! What a Smart Kid!

Larry prefers all his food from the floor, after he's thrown it there. Does that make him smart, too?
Be prepared for the messiest phase thus far (for us at least).
