Elly has Breakfast in Bed

I usually feed Elly her breakfast in a mushroom shaped food dispensing toy. I put it on the easiest setting to start but within a few days she was emptying it in a few minutes and I had to make it harder.  That slowed her down to about 10 minutes per meal but again she mastered it and was emptying it in record time.  So now I have it set at the hardest level, she still usually empties it in less than 10 minutes.  She rolls it around the living room, sometimes picking it up, running with it and then letting it go.  She burns a little energy and works on her balance too!

This past Sunday though she took a different tact.  Usually after I give her the toy she will run off with it and I can hear her rolling it around the living room. On Sunday she took off with it but then it was quiet.  Quiet generally means that it is stuck under a chair or stool and she waits for me to come get it for her.  I went in to see where it was stuck on Sunday morning and found her sitting in her bed with her toy.

She spent almost 15 minutes eating her breakfast without leaving the bed.  It took so long that a the beginning of the video (I recorded her whole breakfast) the entire bed was in the sunshine coming though the window, by the end of the video the left part of the bed was shaded.

Sometimes a girl just needs breakfast in bed on a lazy Sunday!
