Food snob?

It seems as if The Little Girl has become a bit of a baby food snob. She no longer likes the Safeway brand of organic baby food, preferring another brand we buy called "Earth's Best."

Also, the daycare ladies have started feeding her Cheerios, which they call "O"s (which Drew guesses is because the daycare center doesn't like to use brand names. How Portland!). We gave her some this morning and the result was, well, quite messy. She picks them up and puts them in her mouth but they end up on her chin, on her pants, on the chair, in between her legs...oh, we can't wait until we give her grownup food and it ends up on the floor and we have to mop up several times a week...

We're heading to Eugene tomorrow to spend the weekend with our friends Molly and Matt (we knew them long ago in Minnesota), their kids Calvin (6) Camilla (4 1/2) and Marigold (8-plus months). I'm already feeling sorry for the older kids, since the two girls will no doubt torture them with shrieks and accidental hits to their faces.
