o-e-o's and milk

It's amazing how different my three boys are. They were eating oreos and milk (o-e-o's as Blue calls them) and I noticed that each of them had their own system of eating them. Beau, not being able to drink out of a "big boy" cup, had a bottle of milk. He would take a bite of an orea and then take a swig of milk. Pretty ingenious, huh? Then there's Blue. He has figured out a way to consume the most amount of oreo's in the least amount of time: He "accidentally drops them in his cup of milk when dipping them. Once he has about three or four of them sitting in his cup of milk, he just chugs it all down. There's no hiding the fact that Beau and Blue have just had oreos. Reed, on the other hand, shows no sign of oreos on his face. Reed is careful to dip just half of the cookie in the milk (not the entire thing because that would cause it to smoosh in his fingers) and then take a bite. Not surprising, he once told a friend that he "wasn't allowed to eat cheetos" when really he doesn't like them because they get his fingers all dirty. Each of them unique in their own special way!

What???!!! No twisting them apart first to get at the center part, licking it off, then and only then dipping what's left in the milk?

I love Reed! He's a kid after my own heart. I'm totally with him on the cheetos. If he doesn't already know this trick you should let him know the beauty of eating your french fries with a fork. No grease on your hands at all!

o-e-o's are just plain good!!! Danny should show Reed how to eat them with a fork! I never knew this until I met him. It keeps your hands from getting messy AND you can dunk your whole oreo all at once!
