Cheerio Couch

Cohen and I have a pretty steady routine we go through each day. When he wakes up (at the crack of dawn I might add), we get him out of his crib and go to the living room. He watches Curious George and Super Why while Greg and I come out of our comas. Usually, to keep Cohen entertained and quiet until I can muster up strength for a real breakfast (boy I wish I drank coffee sometimes), I give Cohen a little bowl full of cheerios and juice.

I thought he was eating these cheerios. But today, to my suprise when I moved the couch to vacuum under it, they were ALL under the couch. All of them. Probably 1/2 a box.

And yes, you can judge me for not vacuuming under my couch sooner.

Gotta love toddlers. Right now, Cohen is vacuuming them up and eating them at the same time. Yes, now they look appetizing!
