I got interrupted: I meant to explain, that although I have seen some people leave their kids alone in the car at a much younger age (a friend of mine does it with her 4 year old which totally freaks me out!) but my son is extremely imaginative and sensitive and completely freaked out at the idea of sitting by himself in the car while I'm in a store. So now what happens is, we drive some place, I tell him to get out of the car, he says "do I HAVE to get out of the car?, I say yes, repeat about twice, and then he gets out of the car and begrudgingly accompanies me. I'm always in awe of how you go shopping and to thrift stores and on other errands with 4 kids! p.s.

My mother used to let the inners of the bread bowl dry out a little after cutting off the top, then she'd add the soup/chilli/whatever. Another method is using thicker bread :) If you want to make bread bowls, there’s a couple methods to try out.
