A Tale of Rice Cereal

It was a smoky, chilly Saturday evening in November (the 15th to be exact!) when a 5 1/2 month old named Langston got his first taste of rice cereal. His parents thought it would be a good idea to give it to him after a long day of kung fu panda and housewarming parties (shows what they know!). All he really wanted was a good bottle (or nip!) and a warm bath...

Here's what happened:


So, no go to the cereal - especially when the boy seemed to be STARVING! "Why, mommy, why?! Why do you tease me?!"




A little rice cereal in the bottle with breast milk..."hmmm - that's more like it."


Let's try again. Once more, no go. "Must we play this game?!"


Another little breast milk bottle with some rice cereal mixed in...




"OK - now, I feel much better, except whew - my pants are too tight!"



"Thanks mom, thanks dad - what's that you say? remove my pants for the next course?...GREAT idea - then I'll really be ready for this stuff you call 'rice cereal.'"


"What are you waiting for? Bring on the rice cereal, I say!"




"Mmm...mmmm - makes me want to kick up my heels!"


Again.


And again.


And again.




"Keep it coming mom - let me hold the spoon!"


"I tell you what, how about I hold on to you to make sure you hit the target?"


"Riiiiiiice Cereallllllllll!!!!!"


"Are you getting all of this dad?"


"Why don't you give it a try, Daddy?"


"OK back to you mom!"


"Thanks mommy!"


"I am one happy boy AND a fast learner!!!"
