And so it has begun....

This morning I got up and took Betsy to the bus stop, then came home to dh still snoring in bed. I started my morning routine, and brought wee one into my room to watch  "Garfield and Friends", after which I asked her what she would like for breakfast. I went through the usual rundown of what we had, and of course she said no to everything. Then she began her chant, "Egg and cheese, egg and cheese, egg and cheese, egg and cheese....", while holding her arms up and pounding her fist to the beat.

 I told her it was too much to make on a school morning, I told her I didn't have time....then I caved and said okay. I couldn't help it....she was lying there, hair all messy, that cute little 'just woke up' look on her face....I was helpless. This is when dh says, "Jeez, that's an awful lot of work for a school day breakfast isn't it?" Translation: Can I have one too?

So, I go off to the kitchen and begin making her "egg and cheese" (sandwich, on toast), and dh comes out in his skivvys and says again, "I can't believe you are going to cook on a school morning." I ignore him and keep working. He says, "So that's what eggs look like....I haven't had them in a while." I turn to him and say, "You can't have any, unless you do the dance." For a moment he looks at me, then realizes what I mean. He rolls his eyes....and begins the chant, arms raised, looking like a total dweeb, "Egg and cheese, egg and cheese, egg and...." Needless to say, I fixed it for him. They are both quite satisfied with their breakfast....sitting and watching "Arthur" together.

Anyhoo, I am taking advantage of their morning bonding and spending a few moments here in j-land. Have a wonderful Monday everyone....
