Breakfast for the kiddos
Food is
always a mixed bag for the kids. Each meal can present its own fun and
challenges depending on how much they want to eat. Let’s discuss the importance
of starting the day off right. Meghan and I know we’ll be offering fruit and
veggies at lunch, dinner, or both, so we’re a little more flexible with their
breakfast items. Usually, this revolves around Cheerios, eggs and toast, or
muffins, mini or full-sized.
To be clear,
our kids can eat all of their food on their plates, say they’re done, but
continue to ask for bites from mommy and daddy until our food disappears too
and then we realize it’s quite okay because we at least have coffee.
So the most
important meal of the day, it usually revolves around three specific food items
but will always include any other food items that momma and dada are eating;
from bananas, yogurt, other cereal, oatmeal, and the occasional donut. So
breakfast is never a problem when it comes to the kiddos eating. They always
want it and they always eat it, unless they aren’t feeling well and their
hunger does wane a bit.
So there you
have it, the Lakatas’ breakfast broken down to a few primary food groups;
Cheerios, eggs and toast, or muffins for the kiddos; coffee for the parents.
FYI - this only references the first breakfast. Our kids usually eat a second or third breakfast, depending on how much they eat of momma and dada's plates and how many other times they eat before lunch. Lunch, that'll be another post (maybe).
Of course! There has a to be a second breakfast.
ReplyDeleteGood that your kids aren't picky eaters when it comes to breakfast.
Yeah, we're pretty lucky. We provide some options, they pick, and we're golden most of the time.
