Mr. Independent

Charlie is one of those kids who likes to eat breakfast right away when he wakes up in the morning. His breakfast of choice is usually a bowl of cereal, dry. One morning I was upstairs in the bathroom, for maybe two minutes, which was apparently too long. When I came downstairs, this is what I found. To give him some credit, he did get a bowl and it looks like he really tried to pour the cereal into the bowl... he just poured until the bowl was full.... and the box was empty. It was pretty hard to scold him, but at the same time tell him to stay still so I could take a picture. He just wants to be so independent these days!
