Since moving in with us, The Boys have had the chance to try assorted things that they haven’t ever tried before.

Little One, in particular, will be the first to say, “We didn’t have this at [foster mom]‘s house!” whether it’s a different brand of pre-shredded cheese or a type of cereal.

Little One is pretty happy to try some of these ‘new’ things and usually finds that they’re just as good as foster mom’s stuff – or better.

One of the things he likes “better” is All Bran.

That’s right. ALL BRAN.

He will giddily scarf down a big bowl.

Of ALL BRAN.

We went sledding earlier today and after a while Little One was just too tired to climb the hill after each slide. I left Coffee with the Middle One and Older One and brought Little One home for a quick snack.

When I offered him a cookie – a homemade oatmeal and chocolate chip cookie (made by Melle, that is)- he looked at me like I was insane and said, “NO! CEREAL!” and demanded a bowl of.. ALL BRAN.

And when it was done? He wanted more.

What an amazingly weird kid..

    Weird indeed. And, uh, regular.

    Wow…Melle’s cookies must be really bad. LOL….just kidding. Maybe he’s a little old man in a kids body. Does he ask for prune juice too? And does he ask if they make shuffleboard for the Nintendo Wii??

    The thing is? I told him that if he didn’t eat the cookie I would – and I did! And he didn’t bat an eyelash!

    I’d offer up some prune juice just to experiment but.. the kid would LIVE in the bathroom!

    I was going to make a poop or regular joke, but got beaten to the punch.

    Crap.

    Yikes! I’d suggest being careful about giving him too much. My son went through a phase like this, eating only cereal, and my nanny was giving him all bran, a lot.

    He had lots of tummy aches. And spent a lot of time on the toilet!

    ha ha!
