Oatmeal and CTC

Every day the girls ask for the same thing for breakfast.  Ryan wants oatmeal and Reese wants Cinnamon Toast Crunch, or CTC as we like to call it.  I'm okay with Ryan's choice but I cringe when Reese asks for CTC every morning (and sometimes for dinner).  It all started when I discovered that this cereal was one of Cory's favorites.  I bought a box at the store and he ate it every day for breakfast that week.  He also shared some with Reese and that's all it took.  She was not going back to plain ol' Cheerios.  Well, don't you worry, I'm putting a stop to our child eating this sugary cereal.  I just stopped buying it.  She keeps asking for it and I tell her we're out of it.  This is when she proceeds to tell me that I need to go to the store.

Here are the new breakfast choices for the week:

• Oatmeal (always on the menu)
• French Toast made with whole wheat bread & organic maple syrup
• Pancakes with ground flax mixed in
• Fruit and yogurt
• Cheerios--honey nut or plain

That's their choices and if Reese doesn't like it then she can wait for lunch, but that girl is not getting her CTC any time soon.
