One bowl of cereal can cause chaos! As you can imagine mornings are a bit hectic as they are for many families, as well as getting my daughter up ready for school I have to make sure that she has all her creams on and all her medicine so i know she isn't going to suffer at school all day. Even though they do put cream on sometimes I don't personally think they do enough, though i do appreciate they have 20 + students to take care of. If only i had her to deal with but no, i have the 17 month old who likes to think he can have crisps for breakfast....seriously! several times this week and it's only Tuesday!!
So yesterday daughter wants cereal, this is fine, i make her a bowl not to large or small ( because you know i'll get into trouble because its one way or another!! ) and carry on seeing to the little monster.. er i mean my son whilst she is eating etc. After one of two mouthfuls she says she is full... right ok fine, tell her to take it through to the kitchen which she does.
Not ten minutes later she says she is hungry, which annoys me a bit and by now her original cereal is a heap of mush in the kitchen! so I say ok go and get some Soreen! but because i do this and the little man sees he wants some so ok, i go and get the other packet from the kitchen, having not noticed the little monster had been there already and got hold of the first bowl of cereal which had been on the edge of the counter and tipped it all and its mushy mess down the cupboard door and on the floor. One little bowl of cereal, that if daughter had eaten, would have saved two Soreen packets ( the lunch box size), saved a screaming toddler and saved a mess in my kitchen!! who would have thought it lol.
