Is there a Puffaholics Anonymous?

Xander has an addition, I'm afraid. To these:



So, he's also learned to say "Mama" with actual meaning behind it. It sounds something like this all day.




So, the puffs were sitting on the desk, and I was sitting in front of the computer and he was nursing. He finished, sat up, looked at the desk and said, "Mama" while pointing at them. I hand them to him and shake a few out. His fat little fists cram them all into his mouth at once. A few seconds later he says "moh." More. I give him more. He laughs, and gets down to play.

He returns. Mama! I give him a few more. Repeat this scene a few times.

He comes back again, and this time, I see that there are only a few left. I shake them all onto the lid, tell him that's it, all gone. He eats greedily and wanders off again.

He comes back. Mama!
I tell him they're all gone, and he reaches for them. I give the empty canister to him. He looks at it, looks at me and passes it back. Mama! I remove the lid and give it back. He giggles, peers into it, reaches his hand in, and realizes this won't work. While the puffs themselves are gone, they leave a bit of crumbs. Very fine, powdery crumbs. He lifts it, and drinks the crumbs.

Now, earlier tonight, he had yogurt. I let him feed himself. I didn't clean it off very well. Plus he has a runny nose.

So you remember when you were a kid and would squirt glue in some pretty pattern and then shake glitter or sand or whatever all over?
His face looks kinda like that, but not as sparkly. He thought it was fantastic though, and has repeated it a few more times. He's even come back for more. I guess thinking it would have magically refilled itself. Then he found a tiny little chunk of a puff stuck to his cheek and squealed with delight as he popped it in his mouth.

Then he gave up on puffs and said Mama again, but that tone was clearly a "okay, if there's no more puffs, I'll nurse now. But I expect more puffs tomorrow" tone instead of the "open these puffs for me please" tone.
