Choosing breakfast

I want to share what Miles did today before I forget. When Miles woke up around 6:30 I was finishing getting some toast, eggs, and applesauce ready for him to eat. I got him out of his crib and opened the fridge for his milk. Miles saw something and got excited as the fridge closed. Through broken "baby English" and pointing he communicated he wanted something in the fridge. I opened the fridge and he grabbed a bag of hot dog buns (we keep our bread products in the fridge). He really wanted a hot dog bun. This made me laugh inside, but I kept a straight face and asked him which he would really like...a hot dog bun or the breakfast I had made him. He was sure he wanted that hot dog bun. I was chuckling inside, thinking how cute this all was, but very matter of factly gave him his choice of breakfast, put him in his booster chair, and then quietly put his real breakfast in front of him just in case he changed his mind. Of course he did change his mind after halfway through chomping on his hot dog bun. He's learning how to make choices for himself and today was just another example of him refining that skill I guess. I'd better get going. He just walked into our computer room without any pants on--and I put pants on him this morning so I better see what's up!
