This is my first attempt of a healthy breakfast for Christian. I tried to follow the guidelines that I outlined in yesterday's post, but I did not have any whole wheat in the house. We have a stash of Eggo's in the freezer so I toasted one, cut in in half and put some ham on it. I served it with orange wedges and milk. Christian was totally impressed and kept thanking me for such a good breakfast. It was too cute. He barely touched his milk though. He rarely drinks anything first thing in the morning... even weekends.

I don't know if it has anything to do with breakfast or not but Christian did not seem as hungry for snacks when he got home from school today. We'll see if this becomes a new trend next week.
