Instant Chicken Feed

         In the morning, I set out the cereal and milk and sometimes a banana on the counter for John. Finding these items for John are now beyond his ability.  I usually take a cup of coffee and go upstairs to my office and spend an half hour on the computer. 

          John calls out to make sure I am upstairs and then he fixes his own breakfast and it allows me some quiet time.

          I remember in five grade or was it seven grade science we learn that all matter comes in three states, solid,  liquid or vapor.  John turned the cereal, a very tall, clear, plastic round cannister into a liquid.  He poured milk into the cereal and half of the cannister turned into instant food for my chickens.  I notice he already ate one bowl of cereal at the table.

         This incident followed last night when John tried to put his pajama top on as a bottom.  Imagine putting each leg into the sleeves of the top and looking down, thank heavens I walked into the room at that moment.  I laughed out loud, the scene was so funny--even John saw the humor.

         The process of simple acts of daily life are becoming lost for John to preform, one by one.
