"Unless the parent is eating junk or something hyper-allergenic, why couldn't the 18-month-old eat the same thing? "

I can answer for my second child. He had 4 teeth and I didn't feel like pureeing every darn thing we were eating. It was much easier to feed him premade babyfood.

You know I LOVED the babyfood stage -- all those brightly colored jars that told me exactly what to feed her and when -- ah. that time was all too brief

My kids had a variety of bags over the years where they would carry their "stuff" to different places,

So let me get this straight....you think because parents don't have a set bedtime/mealtime that carries over to all of that?

Once when Liza was five she saw the steam from the bagel cookers at the local bagel shop and ran screaming out of the store shouting "it's on FIREEE!!!" and was almost 2 blocks away before i caught her --
