Breakfast arrangements

This morning Sam carried his plush red chair into the fish room (former breakfast nook). He sat in it and systematically ate all his food which was on the bench at eye level. Sometimes he twisted his head around to look at me, then returned to his breakfast.

Sam often likes to eat his breakfast standing in front of the big fish tank. (The bench simply blocks him from opening the cabinet doors and eating fish food.) I display his bananas and cheerios on the bench, and he paces up and down like it's a smorgasbord, then eats and jumps or hops and jabbers his way through breakfast.
