Snack Time

Samantha seems to have a real problem with portion control when it comes to snacks. She prefers to stuff every cereal puff or every Cheerio that she has in front of her in her mouth all at once. For that reason, I am only able to put one or two small snacks in front of her at a time. We are now working with her and her new "snack cup" which has small flaps on the top it. She needs to carefully stick her fingers through the flaps and retrieve only a few Cheerios at a time. It does mean that she spills some on the floor, but it gives her some independence and some much-needed "portion control."
