As many know, we’re having our first child sometime in early April. I think ours might be the first baby built entirely out of cold cereal. I haven’t calculated the numbers, but we–and by ‘we’ I mean ‘Hilary’–goes through about three or four bowls a day, maybe five or six boxes a week. Is this common? Does it explain why children are so keen on cold cereal?

I can believe it. My firstborn was mostly mashed potatoes.
During my first trimester, I would go to sleep at night thinking, “Tomorrow I get to get up and eat cereal!” Cheerios with fruit was my favorite, but I would also go for Grape-Nuts drizzled with honey.
