Day Three Hundred Seventeen 2013

Grandsons Knox and Elijah shared a snack and a TV show this afternoon after school. Elijah is the only kid I know who likes shredded mini wheats [the frosted kind]. Knox picked out and ate all of the colorful Lucky Charms marshmallows and left the cereal in the bowl. It’s all sweet on a happy hump day.

Day Seventy Five

Elijah Man And The Mini Wheats

When I was three years old--long long ago in a galaxy far far away--I would never have dreamed of putting anything that remotely resembled shredded wheat into my mouth. And I've never known a kid who would even try them. Until Elijah. He loves Kellogg's Frosted Mini Wheats. He saw me eating them one morning for breakfast and wanted to try one. He ate it dry and loved it. Now he tells me, "I want some of that cereal like you eat." Sometimes he asks for them in the afternoon for a snack. Go figure. If only we could get him to eat something like broccoli.
