Trying to teach my daughter to eat her snacks out of a container. Not going so well. Everytime I put the puffs in the container she dumps them out and plays with the container. She would rather eat her puffs off the carpet but her daddy doesn't want her to do so. Says its a bad habit and to break it as soon as possible. Guess I have my hands full.
