Growing up we never had "sugary" cereals, as my mom called them. We had the basics, oatmeal, cornflakes, shredded Wheat (the big kind), Grape Nuts, etc. I'm the same way. I'm not big into heavily processed foods, and I won't buy that sugary stuff my kids are always bringing to me from the bottom shelf of the cereal aisle. With the occassional exception of Peanut Butter Crunch or Cocoa Pebbles for Jacob, we eat pretty healthy breakfasts.
Well, yesterday I bought Poptarts. I had a coupon, they were on sale, and Jacob is California for another couple of days. Why not give the kids a treat. They were thrilled, and when I woke up this morning, very tired, not feeling very well, and in a hurry, it seemed the perfect morning to do a quick Poptart breakfast. After the novelty of getting them out of the toaster was over, and after they had taken a few nibbles around the outside where the frosting hadn't covered, they were through. Hyrum started to cry, "but I wanted cereal for breakfast." Camilla drank her milk and said, "I'm done." And so I threw their easy and fun breakfast in the garbage and gave them what they really wanted, nutrition. Maybe Jacob will eat the rest, because I'm not toucjomg them.
