Cheerios on the other hand...the progress is he himself placed them into his mouth. And not with smiles. Crying makes his nose run (he has a cold) ;0(
Yes, I ate a cheerio and now I get my grits/egg and cheese... so he is more apt to try to get more cheerios out of the bowl himself...still cries but to get his desired food FED TO HIM he will place cheerios into his mouth and chew. Oh he cries...but when I remove the yogurt and grits he quickly complies.
