Eli and I have something in common from this weekend. Can you guess which of the following is true?

a. We both pooped in our diapers
b. We both turned 31
c. We both ate cereal
d. Both a and c

If you guessed d, get the F out of here. The answer is, in fact, c. Big E tried cereal for the first time.



To say it was a success and that he loves cereal is a gross understatement. There was what can only be described as lunging at the bowl and spoon, followed by crying when we took them away.



To give you some perspective, he has never cried when we've taken anything away from him before, including the most beloved of his toys (Sophie the $25 hunk of rubber giraffe) and his precious washcloth in the bathtub. But just try to take this kid's cereal away from him before he gorges himself, and feel the wrath.



I get it. If I'd been eating milk and milk alone for five and a half months, I'm sure a little rice cereal would be like manna from heaven.
