Have you given a toddler Cheerios? You set one Cheerio on the tray and a small hand reaches out to grab it, shove it into a mouth, and immediately ask for more. You get tired of placing one on the plate at a time so you set a small handful of cheerios on the tray only to watch as the toddler grabs as many as will fit into a toddler-sized hand at a time and shoves a whole fist into the mouth and immediately asks for more.
