Miriam Eating Fads

Miriam is a difficult stage where I constantly am trying to figure out what she will eat. Often it is a case of I want to do it myself. I think she is going to turn into a cheerio pretty soon and she is remarkably adapt at finding and eating them. Yesterday the box was on the floor and she tipped it over happily eating cheerios till I finally said enough. Later she decided to empty her diaper bag where she found a sandwich bag of cheerios which again happily munched away on and so it went. She is convinced she can have anything we have including popcorn kernels, ice cream, and chips. She is most persistent in reaching these forbidden items. We went to Delta this last weekend where she hunted up her cousin Mason jelly bean stash (he likes to pretend their coal for his Thomas trains) she was sneaky about it to. When she found the stash she didn't eat them all at once she would eat a few and come back later for more. Also in Delta was another cousins kitty Gary, Miriam decided Gary's food looked like cheerios and tried eating some of that too. The other hilarious thing she does is pretend to dip her food. Sat we had pizza where she got the crusts, somehow she got a hold of the ranch lid and was 'dipping' her crust in it! Also last night we went to Joe Bandido's for Eric's birthday and she wanted to dip her chips in the salsa too. I"m not sure what I'm going to do with that girl!
