Lucky Charms

Justin and I have an abundance of Lucky Charms in our cupboard and pantry...it's a long story, but I'll just say there were a few too many good sales on Lucky Charms, which never seemed to go on sale, so...12 boxes later, we are now not quite as excited about having Lucky Charms around for an evening snack as we once were. Lucky for us Andrew and Katie (neice and nephew) love the stuff and take some home with them when they come to visit.
Anyway, that was all really a long tangent to get to the real point, that Justin was sitting down on the couch next to me with a bowl of Lucky Charms as I was feeding Braden. Braden immediately started stretching his little neck as far as it would go to see what his Daddy was up to. I wasn't surprised by this, until he lost all interest in his own food and couldn't take his eyes off of Justin eating this yummy cereal. My boy takes after me when it comes to food, and rarely loses interest in eating. So, I waited for a little bit while he just stared at Justin, expecting him to remember any second that he was eating and wanted to get back to it...I waited some more...and waited...finally I tried to get him back focused on eating...nothing. He would not take his eyes off of Justin eating! So I sat him up so he could see better and it was hilarious! He watched that spoon go from the bowl to Justin's mouth mesmerized. He was so intense! And every so often he would open his mouth, as if he were waiting for his bite. Justin and I could not stop laughing. He sat there and watched every bite until the Lucky Charms were gone.
He then apparently realized he was not going to get any of his Dad's food and took an interest in eating again. What a funny boy!
