Strategery!

This kid has us completely figured out.

Just now, I was feeding him his morning dose of gruel. Mmmm....gruel.

He kept trying to suck his toes, which is not a good idea while I'm shoveling gruel into his mouth (and nose). So I kept intercepting the foot. "Not now. When you're done eating."

Toward the end, he lifted one foot to his mouth, and I grabbed for it. Too late, I realized he'd lifted the other foot, too. While I grabbed the one, he smoothly shoved the other one into his (caked with gruel) mouth. Ha! Triumph.
