My two year old loves for me to feed her even though she is quite capable of feeding herself. She loves cereal and I often feed her so she doesn't spill (She will bring me her plate/bowl of food for me to feed her... spilling along the way). The result is that I can't eat a bowl of cereal myself without my daughter begging to be fed from my bowl. I try to explain to her that it's my breakfast and she whines and cries so I end up feeding her because it's less hassle, besides it's not really a big deal. I don't mind sharing with her too much.
This morning I poured myself a bowl of grape-nuts. Within minutes of sitting down, my daughter came begging for a bite. I gave her a small one and and she started chewing. "Eww, poo-poo," was her immediate reply. She tried to spit it out and I told her to swallow it. She had a look of disgust and said "Eww, poo-poo" again. She started to spit it into her hand so I gave her a napkin. She hated it so much that she tried wiping it out of her mouth. I couldn't help laughing! I now have a new favorite cereal because I can eat it without having to swap germs with my 2 year old!

We went to another ward today- we were visiting my husband's brother&family... I am always amazed at how loud other wards sing. My ward is so quiet when singing- I feel like I'm singing a solo most of the time. It was wonderful to blend in with others' voices. I don't care if you aren't the best singer out there- the least you can do is sing at church! These are songs of praise- a testimony really. I sing to feel the spirit through music. I have always sung loud and thought that it was important. I don't understand what is wrong with my ward but I have been trying to brainstorm ways to get these members singing loud at church. Maybe an entire sacrament meeting of singing only. Maybe callings from the bishop asking people specifically to be ward singers who will sing their hearts out during any song sung at church. Maybe threats to make sacrament keep going until they sing the hymn at a certain decibel. Who knows? Maybe I will suggest it to the bishop!
