In our seemingly never-ending quest to teach Carter some table manners, we spend a lot of time telling him that you do NOT put things in your milk. Not forks, not spoons, not toys, not your fingers, not food.
Tonight, I was reading him a story that showed a picture of a kid eating milk and cookies. Carter got very upset that the child was dipping his cookie in his milk. He kept going back to that page, pointing and repeating, "No do that! No do that!"
I tried to hide my chuckle as I explained that the "don't put anything in your milk" rule doesn't apply to cookies. At which point, I had to promise that we'd have cookies and milk -- very soon.
I expect we'll be baking this weekend.

So many things the boy has not been introduced to yet. If only Mama Helen lived closer. . .
I'm with Mama H. What kind of house are you running around there? ;-)
And what about cereal in milk?
He doesn't really eat cereal - at least not with milk. Food in milk is just too messy of a prospect at this stage (at least for our overly active boy)!
