A Little Routine

Lucy is set in her ways. I guess most three year old kids are to some degree. When she spends the night with us she is always the first one up. When her eyes open, the first thing out of her mouth is "I want cereal". Even if she wakes up in the middle of the night it is always the same. I have to tell her it needs to be morning time to get her to go back to sleep without eating her cereal.

Occasionally she will eat scrambled eggs and toast or french toast. Once in a while she will switch it up with a pancake but not often.  Last Tuesday she informed me that she was a "good cooker". She helps me each day and has the measurements to making her oatmeal down. She knows where the measuring cups are, the bowl we use, how much water and oatmeal to use. She likes the Old Fashioned oatmeal. I have tried to get her to eat instant and she won't eat it for me. Perhaps she will for her dad but at Grandma's, nope!

Here she is with her beloved Quaker. I do admit he is kind of ugly but she loves him just the same.

Thumbs up for oatmeal!

Down the hatch!

What a turkey, she is very on top of her morning routine for sure! I remember when I was waiting for you to get home to leave and she woke up and wanted breakfast but I didn't have time, I asked her if she wanted fruit snacks before breakfast and she said no cuz they might get stuck in her teeth! She doesn't seem to have a problem with them any other time! Haha she's so funny.
