The Hand That Feeds You ...

Hello Everyone.

I was preparing supper in the kitchen when he walked in, a wooden puzzle piece in each hand. My 11-month-old son Milo was happy enough chewing on his possessions, however he was clearly indicating his desire for something more tasty and satisfying. Wanting to keep going with supper, I offered him a breadstick to tie him over.

He looked at the breadstick and at the two puzzle pieces. Slowly he transferred a piece from one hand to the other, carefully gripping them both in one hand. He was then free to accept my offering.

"What a clever boy!" I thought to myself.

Happy as a lark, Milo walked off, breadstick in hand chewing on his puzzle pieces!

Happy sweeping,
