Go ahead, play with your food

I am the type of mom that will let children play with their food. Right now Inwe and Larien are having "snack" lunch. This is a term I use to give the girls a myriad of foods for lunch to combat the possible boredom of kid foods like mac and cheese, other types of pasta, and cheese quesadillas. My children don't eat PB&Js. They will eat peanut butter on a spoon, but put the PB on bread--no way!

So with the snack lunch came playing with their food. Small pretzels were part of the snack lunch. Somehow they ended up in small bottles (to be specific breast milk storage bottles, unused) soaking with water. Larien has begun drinking the pretzel flavored water with a straw. Oh, now there are mandarin oranges in the bottle. The water is gone, and she is eating/drinking the oranges and pretzels out of the bottle.

Inwe is playing as well, but she has made a noise maker out of her pretzels. She's currently singing one of her original compositions while shaking the bottle of pretzels.

All of this is very teasing to the White Dragon who is convinced all this transferring of food from one container to another will result in a mess on the floor which she will get to eat.
