Monkey see, Monkey do

I remember loving to read while I was eating breakfast in the morning. It was my morning wake up. I loved pouring a huge bowl of cereal, finding a great book, and then sitting at our dining room table lost in the book while munching cereal. Often, I would just read the cereal box over and over. I love watching the kids in the morning eating their breakfast. Usually, each of them has a book propped up in front of them.

So, of course somebody follows the crowd.  Now, she will only eat if she has a book propped up in front of her.  She will even pretend to thumb through a chapter book with no pictures just because.

Aunt Damaris, Did you notice the goggy-goggy book?

If you really look at a small child, they really have so many small adorable habits.  I love watching them eat especially when they are learning to feed themselves.  I love how their mouth tries to maneuver around a fork and spoon.  I love how it takes so much concentration to aim it just right.

Although, the tell-tale sign that a meal is being enjoyed is the crossed feet.  I find it so darling when she crosses her feet.  It is her way of saying, "Thank you."
