DS likes to eat dry cereal as a snack, so 20 minutes ago, he was eating cheerios, and dropped a few on the floor, I told him to pick them up, and in a rage he grabbed the whole box and launched them across the living room, so while I am busy hoovering them up, I dont notice that ds had left a box of rice crispies on the side, and dts had got hols of them and launched them across the kitchen
DS has been sent to his room, and is currently throwing a tantrum in there, and I spent bloody nearly an hor cleaning his room this morning...GRRRRRRRRRRR

how old is he?

i'd have made a cup of coffee and read a magazine whilst he cleared them up.

dd3 and ds (2 and 4 yo) thought it woudl be great to empty out all the cereal we had in a pile on the floor a couple of weeks ago - that was 1 large bag porridge, 2 boxes coco pops, 1 box sugar puffs, 1 box musili (organic ) and 1 large box homemade granola. It took them about 30 seconds, then they sat down and started whizzing it round the floor with their bottoms.

Don't you just love them

We buy raisins in 3 kg packs and when ds was about 2 we found him with a very determined look on his face dragging the sack from the larder into the front room. Gawd knows where he was ultimately headed for or what he was planning to do with them when he got there

lol! i used to look after a little girl who was OBSESSED with cereal, mostly emptying it on the floor.

we had to put a lock on the cereal cupboard,

I remember once she emptied a bag of muesli on the floor and the mum just cleared it up and put it back in the pack!!!
