Yeah, I can picture this, too — if it’s a stuffed animal, and a kid is trying to walk while holding the animal between his/her knees, or something like that. My kids have tripped themselves doing things like that, although I don’t recall any eating-at-the-same-time problems. (Now that I’ve said that, we WILL have exactly that tonight, probably.)
My daughter was holding 2 stuffed animals when I handed her her breakfast plate. Instead of putting the animals down, she put them between her legs and then started waddling towards her chair, eating as she went. I knew the food was going to end up on the floor, which means more work for mommy to clean it up. Isn’t it obvious? Don’t eat while you’re walking with animals between your legs!
I am the Meanest Mommy in the Whole Wide World. I am forced to make rules & observations that I never knew would be necessary before I became a parent.
Actually, I can picture this- and some ensuing food mishap/spill.
