Breakfast Time

 

This boy loves cereal.  He asks almost every night if, when it gets light, he can have cereal.  Then he asks who will eat with him.  It is quite a ritual.  What is not a welcome ritual is getting dressed in the morning.  So, our solution has been get dressed as soon as he gets up and then don a smock (aka daddy's old shirt) to eat.

He loves sitting at his own little table.

He is responsible too.  He carries his bowl to the table each morning before we add the milk.

After he eats the bowl goes straight in the sink.  It is such a help to have him want to help and then actually do it as part of his morning routine.  Yes, we have some spills some mornings, but most of the time it's a success.  I figure the time it saves me hovering over him, carrying and cleaning it all away, is worth cleaning up an occasional spill.

He is really growing up so fast though...
