#CheerioChallenge: Dads compete to stack cheerios on sleeping babies' heads

In what may be the sweetest challenge of all time, dads are competing on social media to see how many cheerios they can stack on their sleeping babies’ heads. 

The challenge, coined the #CheerioChallenge, was created by Patrick Quinn, who works for the Life Of Dad parenting site. According to a post on the website, Quinn was eating cereal when he decided to see if he could stack a few cheerios on his sleeping child’s head.  

He posted the photos on Life of Dad social media accounts, and a new American pastime was born. 

And we aren't complaining. 

Using the hashtag #CheerioChallenge, moms and dads alike have begun posting photos on social media of their own cheerio stacks. It looks like it's hard to get over a stack of seven cheerios, but some have achieved that level of success.
