Some of our friends here are a family with 4 children each lining, up by age (within a year) and gender with our 4. Very thoughtful of them! Here's A with her alter ego, S.
Speaking of my little sister (#3), she was recently reminiscing about our family's infamous and short-lived 'hot cereal phase of 1992.' Naturally having married a frugal and healthy woman, we have hot cereal several mornings a week. I don't seem to have been able to come up with a counter-argument to 'its cheap and good for you.' And it helps me feel kinship with my neighbors... they typically are eating a cream of wheat type food or else 'tuwo.' This is absolutely a staple around here, and is well explained by a recent post from some friends.
