Party time wasn’t until 11am, but Cameron woke us all up at about 7am, so while i puttered around the kitchen making samosas and oatmeal for breakfast (I know, interesting combo! But, I thought Dylan would prefer the “crunchy ones” to oatmeal), I let the kids watch some “Cat in the Hat.”
I tried to make the oatmeal especially appealing to Dylan by creating an “oatmeal condiments bar” which included a little “pitcher” of soy milk, some maple syrup, and a container of dried blueberries, another with chopped pecans, and yet another with sunflower seeds. Sure enough, he dug the “embellish-your-own-oatmeal” idea — he enjoyed pouring and sprinkling things in — but, in the end, he ate very little! Oh, well!
