Oats

For some reason, Jonny loves oats.  And I mean the plain, dry oats.  He will tolerate oatmeal for breakfast or oatmeal cookies, but what he really loves is a few dry oats in a measuring cup to snack on.  I've had to move my container of oats to the very top so he can't get to them or else I can't keep him out of them!


When we go to my grandma's house, she always has a little Ziploc bag of candy for him.  She puts it under the sink for him to take out.  Well, that also happens to be where she keeps her canister of oats.  Without exception, Jonny will take out the bag of candy but then will set it aside and ask for some oats. He'll sit there and eat them dry and it just makes Great-Grandma laugh to watch Jonny eat dry, nasty oats instead of candy!


We recently went to Winco and I filled up a bag with oats from the bulk foods section to replenish my container.  Jonny thought that was the best thing we've ever bought and had to hold that bag of oats all through the store!  Silly kid!
