Oatmeal Infatuation

Noah was inspired with an intense passion or should I say admiration for his peaches and cream oatmeal this morning.
It started out with the usual "I'm hungry" followed by the what are you going to do about it look.
After going through a couple of choices my sweet boy picked out oatmeal. Something he has never done before. I had him sit on the counter so that he could help pour his selected flavor of oatmeal into his bowl and then into the microwave it went. The crazy part is that for the next hour and a half ( yes, I checked the clock several times) he sat at the table and refused to be parted from his bowl of oatmeal.

Ordinary bowl of peaches and cream oatmeal.

A boy who does not sit, play, watch or do anything longer then 15 minutes was mesmerized from 9:15 to 10:45 in the morning before he would relinquish his bowl of oatmeal. There was no mess to clean up because he didn't make one. He stirred the oatmeal, piled it to one side of the bowl and occasionally took a bite now and then.
What do they put in that stuff? Every mother must learn the secret!
