Serve-it-yourself cereal

Via Sara via Daily Candy: a countertop cereal "keg" kids can operate themselves. Put a small pitcher of milk on a low shelf in the fridge, a few spoons and plastic bowls in the cupboard, and they can make their own breakfasts! (And you get to sleep in?) A "Mom Tested" pick by Parenting magazine. Comes in single and dual models, and in several colors.

Of course, there's a simpler and cheaper solution. From my wise-mama cousin Leslee:

When Alanna was old enough to open the fridge by herself (3-ish), I set up her breakfast so she could feed herself. On the bottom shelf, place a bowl of cereal, a small cup of milk, and a spoon. All she had to do was pour the milk into the cereal, and – voila! – breakfast! She carried it to the table and ate it, often spilling a bit on the floor, but that was a small price to pay for sleeping in. Ah…precious sleep. ‘Course it also helped that she could work the TV and VCR herself.

VCR? Bah! Get TiVo!

But this would eliminate the fun of watching our one-year-old dig a box of cereal out of the low cupboard and tote it around the house with it under one arm eating a handful of cereal out of the other.

Well, that and that this looks like it wouldn't even last a single morning in our house with five cereal eaters.

I've got to admit, after seeing these in hotels and such I am constantly tempted.

I flagged this email from Daily Candy as soon as it came into my own Inbox. I saw these a few years ago and have been coveting them ever since! We're totally getting a couple of these sometime this year.
