Breakfast

Mikey has always been an early to bed, early to rise kid. So, in elementary school he was usually up in time to get ready for school and even help cook breakfast. He used to eat scrambled eggs all the time. Since then, he has decided he is not into eggs, but has impressed many of his teachers with his egg-cracking abilities. Plus, eggs come in very handy in baked goods – Mikey remains a fan of all baked goods. Wink.

The ham we ate for breakfast was Canadian bacon. It comes in small circles…they heat up in about two minutes and work great on a sandwich with the eggs.

If you can leave yourself a post-it note in the kitchen to ask the kids what’s happening at school that day, you might jog their memory of permission slips, special events, spirit days, early dismissals, etc… This can be a great way to make one extra effort to stay on top of the craziness. I figure if you ask at dinner and again at breakfast, maybe your typical kiddos will remember to tell you about half of the stuff that is actually happening…a mom can try.

Mikey’s team always kept us in the loop with notes in his communication binder. They’d tell us if there was a day when everyone was wearing school colors or any special event so Mikey could participate. If your school doesn’t do this, I’d ask…it’s always an easy way for your special kiddo to feel part of the group!
