My kids are not breakfast eaters, they have to be up at least two hours for them to be able to eat anything and keep it down. So when they are ready to eat I try to give them a very balanced breakfast. Something healthy that they love is as followed...
1 Eggo waffle (whole grain is best)
1-1 1/2 Tbsp. cashew, almond, or peanut butter (it is a matter of taste)
1/2 a banana (sliced to cover waffle)
1/4 cup of blueberries or strawberries
Serve with milk and there you have a simple balanced breakfast that anyone would enjoy eating.
BTW, I have also made this in a dessert fashion by just adding whipped topping, chopped nuts, dark chocolate shavings, and a cherry on top and the kiddies eat it up. Little do they know that they are eating healthy, all they know is that it taste good.

A Parents Job Description...
POSITION :
Mom, Mommy, Mama, Ma
Dad, Daddy, Dada, Pa, Pop
JOB DESCRIPTION :
Long term, team players needed, for challenging
permanent work in an
often chaotic environment.
Candidates must possess excellent communication
and organizational skills and be willing to work
variable hours, which will include
evenings and weekends
and frequent 24 hour shifts on call.
Some overnight travel required, including trips to
primitive camping sites on rainy weekends and endless sports tournaments in far away cities!
Travel expenses not reimbursed.
Extensive courier duties also required.
RESPONSIBILITIES :
The rest of your life.
Must be willing to be hated, at least temporarily,
until someone needs $5.
Must be willing to bite tongue repeatedly.
Also, must possess the physical stamina of a
pack mule
and be able to go from zero to 60 mph in three seconds flat
in case, this time, the screams from
the backyard are not someone just crying wolf.
Must be willing to face stimulating technical challenges,
such as small gadget repair, mysteriously sluggish toilets
and stuck zippers.
Must screen phone calls, maintain calendars and
coordinate production of multiple homework projects.
Must have ability to plan and organize social gatherings
for clients of all ages and mental outlooks.
Must be willing to be indispensable one minute,
an embarrassment the next.
Must handle assembly and product safety testing of a
half million cheap, plastic toys, and battery operated devices.
Must always hope for the best but be prepared for the worst.
Must assume final, complete accountability for
the quality of the end product.
Responsibilities also include floor maintenance and
janitorial work throughout the facility.
POSSIBILITY FOR ADVANCEMENT & PROMOTION :
None.
Your job is to remain in the same position for years, without complaining, constantly retraining and updating your skills,
so that those in your charge can ultimately surpass you
PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE :
None required unfortunately.
On-the-job training offered on a continually exhausting basis.
WAGES AND COMPENSATION :
Get this! You pay them!
Offering frequent raises and bonuses.
A balloon payment is due when they turn 18 because
of the assumption that college will help them
become financially independent.
When you die, you give them whatever is left.
The oddest thing about this reverse-salary scheme is that
you actually enjoy it and wish you could only do more.
BENEFITS :
While no health or dental insurance, no pension,
no tuition reimbursement, no paid holidays and
no stock options are offered;
this job supplies limitless opportunities for personal growth, unconditional love,
and free hugs and kisses for life if you play your cards right.
THERE IS NO RETIREMENT -- EVER!!! **
If you are fortunate enough you will become grandparents!

My patriotic kids.
(From left to right)Savannah Rose age 3, Delta Rose age 2, and Scarlett Rose age 2, and not pictured is Georgia Rose because she is 4 1/2 months old and they didn't have a shirt like this in her size.
I got these shirts big so they would make good nightgowns. Like I have said in a previous post, I love pajamas for me and my kids.
