Not least among the many great things Theo and Toby brought in their luggage for their granddaughter was a special American delicacy--Cheerios.
As Gwen Wren has transitioned into eating more and more "real" food, we have been trying to find good, easy finger foods to have around. We keep reading--in books, online, from the touchy-feely attachment parenting types as well as more mainstream sources--that Cheerios are the ultimate baby snack food. Surprisingly, we have found no equivalent here in Germany. Not because the Germans are above seemingly base American food--in fact, they have quite a lot of super junky sugar cereal, e.g. Cocoa Puffs; and the only Cheerio-like thing they have is of the honey-nut variety (i.e., junky and sugary).
Just as we predicted, Gwendolyn loves Cheerios. We now try to keep a Ziploc full of Cheerios on hand whenever we go out. (Oh, and even though they are a precious rarity here, meant to be reserved for the Wren, David couldn't help but eat a big bowl too, piled high with fresh strawberries.)
