Making Her Own Breakfast... At One Year Old


This was supposed to be a relaxed morning. We had plans to go to the gym and our friends were coming over for a playdate and lunch at 10:30. I had cleaned the house last night so we could just "chill" in the morning. Both kids had their morning milk and I had put out bowls and the cereal box for breakfast. Noticing they were playing contently with each other, I stepped into my bedroom to get dressed, quickly. The next thing I knew, Thomas came running in saying, "Mom! You've got to see this! Charlotte just put the whole bag of cereal upside down."


Funny, I thought, we have boxes of cereal - he must be confused. "No. Really mom." long pause, "You've got to come look." Okay, he thinks this is a big deal. So I walk in the kitchen and find:

  • Charlotte sitting on the table.
  • Charlotte with a box of NEW Trix cereal.
  • Charlotte with an empty bag, that WAS in the box of new cereal.
  • Charlotte scooping spilled cereal from the table into her bowl.
  • Charlotte making her own breakfast!

Ahhh... Making her own breakfast... at one year old.

Grass, Trees, Shrubs, Flowers




The front of the house has been landscaped. Now we just need to keep it manicured... and alive. You can see we are on a corner lot and the name of our new street - Atwater Cove!
