The kids are not home yet. I have a few hours before they come home. I have to prepare for them to come home. There is a regular ritual for us. I know I need to have some snacks for them. They usually want the same things. They don’t want to try anything different.
There have been a few instances where they wanted to try something new. They have their time tested favorites. It is up to me to break them out of their old routines. I like to help them branch out.
If it were up to them they would eat waffles all day long. Nutrition is a serious matter. I am glad they do like fresh fruit and some vegetables. I have never been one to hide the vegetables in their food. Then they come to resent me when they find out that there are vegetables hidden in their food. I choose to be direct with them. It is better to be honest with them than to try to deceive them, even if it is for their own good. No kidding.
