Trying to Hit a Moving Target

Recently Abby sent me an email forward with a list of "lessons" that expectant parents should complete to make certain they are up to the task of having a baby. Part of it read as follows:

"Lesson 8. Hollow out a melon. Make a small hole in the side. Suspend it from the ceiling and swing it from side to side. Now get a bowl of soggy Cheerios and attempt to spoon them into the swaying melon by pretending to be an airplane. Continue until half the Cheerios are gone. Tip half into your lap. The other half, just throw up in the air. You are now ready to feed a nine- month-old baby."

I thought this was a bit of an exaggeration, until I remembered this video Abby took while she was visiting us a few weeks ago. (While the main subject of the video is Rebecca, please also take note of my two-year-old nephew Charlie drinking a Diet Coke with his breakfast).
