My name is Ben . . .

. . . and I can't eat without playing with my food. I eat my gummy vitamins by tearing them apart first. I like to open up my peanut butter sandwiches and wipe it on my face. I've stuck peas up my nose. I will often chew up a piece of cheese sandwich, spit it out, touch it to see how it feels and then proceed to eat it. I like to touch my applesauce and oatmeal with my fingers before putting the spoon in my mouth. It drives mommy crazy, but I love to play with food.

She is always telling me - "it's a good thing you're cute." I'm not sure what that means but it sure sounds silly.
