Franny is holding the best new gadget I've found for quite some time. It's the "Snack Trap"--a convenient little bowl with handles and a lid that Franny can push her fingers through to pull out what she wants, without spilling or shaking out a bunch of extra. Although it isn't completely spill-proof, it definitely minimizes the number of Joe's O's and bunny crackers that I typically find scattered throughout the house.
I used to insist that Franny eat her snacks in her chair at the table. Now, however, I am just happy if she eats. I knew that toddlers her age ate less than they did as 9-12 month olds, but the change in her appetite has been so dramatic it makes me just a little uneasy! So, now if she signs that she wants to eat or that she wants to eat cereal or some crackers, I load up the Snack Trap and let her run. Unbelievably, she actually eats more this way.
