Thank You, Yo Gabba Gabba

Today at breakfast, Alex was thrilled to be using an adult soup spoon for his cereal and milk. I explained that with all of the potty successes going on, he might like to do some more Big Boy things. I guess the move emboldened him more. He had finished his cereal and asked for more.

'Can I have Daddy Os?' 'Daddy Os' are Honey Nut Cheerios, the sugar coated version of his regular Cheerios.

I told him that he could not have Daddy Os, but that I would order some Baby Os today. (That's what he calls Multigrain Cheerios - for the sample box size, not the persons eating them). He wanted to know why he couldn't have Daddy Os, so I explained that they have too much sugar. That wasn't good for little guys who are trying to grow.

'You don't like sugar?' he asked me, 'You can't give it a try?'

Shades of Tootie on Yo Gabba Gabba, being talked into trying yogurt for the first time.
