Cheering for Oatmeal

Oatmeal. The coveted breakfast cereal of John. Unfortunately, we have had to feed him because his motor skills are still developing. This morning I decided I wanted him to feed himself because he is getting better at it. I put my hand over his hand and put the spoon in his hand. There were some complaints but eventually he fed himself 10 bites. We cheered and cheered for each one of those glorious 10 bites!! Then it was over and I fed him the rest. Breakfast, so simple, yet we cheer and will continue to cheer for oatmeal, the coveted breakfast cereal.
