Variations on cereal

Prepare your Cream of Wheat with chicken broth, almond or rice milk, or real fruit juice.  Add cream cheese to oatmeal.  You can use almond or rice milk.  These are nice changes and a good way to add a few vitamins to your feathery child's food. Puree a few beans and stir into any hot cereal. You can also puree some greens for really healthy cereal.

A nice hot meal right before bed makes for a warm tummy, a dark and quiet place to sleep and love
is a perfect ending to a fun filled day. 
YUM! YUM!  SECONDS PLEASE?

The Creation Story as told by a bird

On the first day of creation, God created the bird.
On the second day, God created man to serve the bird.
On the third day, God created all the plants of the earth to serve as potential food for the bird.
On the fourth day, God created honest toil so that man could labour for the good of the bird.
On the fifth day, God created the toy so that the bird might or might not destroy it.
On the sixth day, God created veterinary science to keep the bird healthy and the man broke.
On the seventh day, God tried to rest, but He had to feed, clean, and amuse the bird.
