Breakfast

After fixing a big breakfast of eggs and ham cubes and oatmeal yesterday and the kids eating okay, but not great, I went with the English Muffin and fruit theory this morning.  I'm thinking now I should have gone with the big breakfast again.  Isabele had her early morning (6AM) snack of dry fruitloops while Titus slept.  Then she ate half of a banana, a glass of milk and half an English Muffin - a normal intake for her some mornings.  Titus ate an entire English Muffin, half a banana and a glass of milk.  Again, normal some mornings.

Then I took a shower.  Titus appeared with a yogurt.  The following conversation:
Me: "Are you hungry?"
"No."
"Then you can't have the yogurt."
He looks at me.
Me: "Are you hungry?"
"Yes."
"Fine.  You can have the yogurt."
He nicely shared the entire container with Isabele.

Then, while I was putting on my make-up with Isabele sitting on the stool in the bathroom, Titus appears and says, "Here Isabele, here is a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for you."  I said, "And did you make one for yourself?"  Off he went to the kitchen again.  I followed shortly thereafter to check on his progress as I had looked inside Isabele's sandwich and found only Orange Marmalade - no peanut butter.  He was on the stool with the Marmalade and the bread and a butter knife.  I got the peanut butter out for him.  Then he wanted a little help.  So now he is sitting in Isabele's highchair eating his peanut butter and jelly sandwich and working on his 2nd glass of milk.

I guess he could manage to not starve for a day or two in this house.  And he may even feed his sister, too.
