We try to provide the kids with healthy-ish snacks when possible. Among the options we have are granola bars. Joshua loves them, and on some days he has one for a snack. Usually he eats them downstairs at the table, but sometimes if we are not yet ready to go downstairs in the morning, such as if we are still getting ready, we let him bring one upstairs. Terrence is generally very sleepy in the mornings, but one thing that can quickly wake him up is food. And when Joshua brings a granola bar up, Terrence turns into an alert bloodhound. Joshua's not tall enough to keep it away from Terrence, so we quickly get to the scenario where Terrence is jumping up trying to snatch the granola bar from Joshua's hand while he runs around trying to avoid Terrence. So Joshua never gets to eat the granola bar because he's trying to avoid Terrence, and Terrence never gets to eat it, because Joshua's just quick enough to avoid him. To solve this mini-problem, Joshua now eats his granola bar in the bathtub, which is a pug-free place, because Terrence (and Natalie) haven't figured out how to get in there, which is also why we keep Alex's cat food in there. Clara was up this morning, so she joined Joshua it eating the granola bar in their safe location.
