Last Sunday night, Mom, Dad and Unkie Jude went to see the movie Avatar in IMAX 3D. Unkie Jude's girlfriend, Kerry, babysat Matthew. To supplement his ongoing speech-therapy, Kerry introduced him to "Fruit Loops" cereal as a way to enforce Matthew's recognition, and eventual saying, of colors.
However, there is one unforeseen side effect: Matthew is now obsessed with Fruit Loops. He is constantly pointing up and / or climbing into the pantry, regardless if the "Fruit Loops" cereal box is in sight.
Yesterday, Nana Josie (from daycare) was running a fever so Matthew stayed at home for the day and Matthew had THREE bowls of Fruit Loops. I am sure he would have had more if mom did not stop him.
Which leads me to the question that I posed in the title. Does "Fruit Loops" cereal contain crack? Or another addictive substance? More importantly, do we need to perform a toddler intervention on him to cure him of his addiction?
Today, during lunch, Matthew and mom had another fruit loop struggle.. He refuses mac & cheese, or anything else... He is on the floor crying at the pantry now.
