As soon as our baby Lauren started eating fun things like crackers and Cheerios, our big 5-year-old girl, Amy, began stealing things from her sister's tray. Anyone who knows Amy knows that she is a snacker and it's nearly impossible for her to resist taking just a couple of Cheerios. After weeks of getting after her for stealing Lauren's snacks, I finally said, "You are not allowed to take one single thing from Lauren's tray while she is eating or you will have to go to your room until she is done." So, after thinking this over for a few days, Amy came up with a solution to her problem. She would pretend she is a dog and try to get Lauren to feed her. Lauren, of course, had no idea what her sister was up to and didn't cooperate in feeding the "dog" so Amy resorted to eating a few dropped cheerios from the floor.
