Breakfast
Michael enjoys a variety of breakfast foods. He likes waffles and pancakes. He likes yogurt with cheerios. He will eat fresh fruit, raisins, craisins and freeze dried fruits. He adores donuts with frosting and bagels with cream cheese. But, every morning before school, he always wants the same breakfast. It is part of his ‘get ready for school’ routine and he’s sticking with it.
He will let me vary the type of protein bar and the brand of cheese crackers, but other than that…this is the standard and he is sticking with it. Okay, Mikey…whatever gets you on the bus in the morning is fine by me.
