My two little helpers have been tagging along to lots of my appointments lately, and that poses some challenges! Like how to interact with the doctor or vet when there are strollers being knocked over, crawling all over the floor, or little fingers exploring the very enticing medical instruments within reach. Haha! You know what I'm talking about moms.
Actually, Asher and Silas are usually very good in public, praise the Lord! But there are still those times that call for a distraction, which is why I was inspired when I saw this DIY cheerio necklace by Lenya over on Raising Miss Matilda. I happened to have pipe cleaners and a bunch of left over Apple Jacks from Asher's birthday party favor bags, so we had to try our own version of wearable snacks. And yes, they help! Not to mention we had a great time making them together, although I did most of the making and they mostly just sampled, haha. But keeping a stash of these in a small plastic container in my bag has made a big difference when we're out. We don't normally keep sugary cereal in the house, so these are truly a special treat for the boys!

SUPPLIES
Pipe cleaners
Apple Jacks, Cheerios, Fruit Loops, etc.
DIRECTIONS
String the cereal onto a pipe cleaner and twist the ends around each other to close. Store in a hard plastic container to prevent them from crumbling in your bag, and then enjoy!
Easy as can be, right? And thanks again to Lenya for the great idea!
