akes to raise him everyday. For example, this weekend I bought him his first pair of "big-boy" shoes, and that took a lot of research, learning, and of course shopping too. Then we also fed him something new this weekend because he's really starting to love feeding himself finger foods: cue the Zwieback Toast. I'm really not sure why I bought it, but we've been giving lots of the Gerber Graduates stuff a try. So, today after my son gnawed on a piece of Zwieback toast for about 20 minutes. I learned that at first glance it doesn't look like an item that will make a huge mess, but oh to the contrary my friends. I also did a quick online search and Wilkipedia taught me the following: Zwieback is a type of crispy, sweetened bread, made with eggs and baked twice. It is sliced before it is baked a second time, which produces crispy, brittle slices that closely resemble melba toast. Zwieback is commonly used to feed teething children. The name comes from German zwei ("two"), and backen, meaning "to bake" Zwieback hence literally translates to "two-bake".
I also learned very quickly he LOVES this stuff. Don't even think about cutting his Zwieback experience short. I will have to buy more really soon. So yes, I really do learn something new everyday. Could my son actually be making me smarter?
