breakfast at my house

This is for my own memory purposes.  In case this phase ever ends.  Every.single.morning my boys wake me with requests?...nay, demands!..for "eggs & toast & circles".  Sometimes I try to shake it up with offers of pancakes or cereal or oatmeal.  No.  They want their eggs. 

And toast. 

And circles. 

So this is my stovetop each morning:

 

Aidan takes two.  Davyn takes one, with a side of anywhere from 2 to 4 scrambled eggs (once we counted 7).  Did I mention that he's only 2?  Yes, I'm building giants. 

     

A drinks water.  D much prefers milk.

When there's fruit on the side, A needs it on an entirely separate plate or bowl.  D doesn't so much mind the co-mingling of peach juice and egg yolk. 

Do you forget all of these detailed preference (demands!) when they are old & gone?  I imagine it all fades despite how insistent it seems NOW as they dominate my days.

But I'll record them {just in case}.

Those look good!! Guess what I'm off to do? (Eggs and toast and circles of course!) The perfect 8:15pm snack.

Yes, I think it all eventually it all fades, isn't this part of why we blog?

On another note: when can I get you guys over for a swim again? Or...we can come over and eat eggs and toast and circles...

[Shanon]

That looks really good and I think I'll go make it right now!

[Annalisa]

At least eggs are one of the best food choices. And I'm with Jordan. I'm hungry and that looks good. I'll be back to post read after a hearty snack :).

Amy,
It's Rachel, sorry I'm posting under Corey's name. I was so excited to see your blog but we call them eggs in frames. Growing up if my Mom was too tired to cook that's what she would make, it brings back good memories!

When I was a kid My mom and dad use to make us eggs in a frame as well... I thought they made it up. Just a week ago my dad made tal that same meal and Tal loved it!

[Mandy]

I am not a big egg fan, but I love to cook them. I used to make those for my brothers and sisters.

Cute differences between Aidan and Davyn.

I remember this, my children were horrified at this breakfast, hee hee! I think it's important to record these seemingly mundane experiences, because I'm sure you forget. It makes me think I should be better at this and not worry that it's boring to read about, because it's never boring to a mother.

I love this! We eat SO many eggs it is silly! I love a little who can eat! YAHOO for those darling two boys! I don't know if the memory will fade - you might be making eggs and toast and circles until they leave home! You're a great MOM!

[Mandi]

Interesting . . . I'll have to see if the girls will eat them - they are so dang picky! I definitely think it's great to record these things because you WILL forget them (maybe not this, but other little things). Every once in a while, Nate and I will remember something Savy used to do and it's like we almost forgot - I wish I had blogged back when she was born! Oh, well, better late than never, right?

I also love it that D can eat so much! I can't imagine what your grocery bills will be as they grow up!

[Amy]

We would love to come swim with you guys, Jordan...or share our eggs and toast and circles, of course.

[Susan]

That actually looks good. Maybe we will have it for dinner. Yum!!

[Jill]

You are wise to record their demands, habits and preferences now because they definitely change and you'll definitely forget...it's a nuisance!

You must go through a ton of eggs at your house!

[Kelly]

Sadly, you do forget these mundane things. Smart to record them. And, you've inspired many to a tasty new snack today. My parents used to make these for us (cant' remember which one), and I loved them. I'll have to try these with the girls tomorrow.

I used to like that breakfast, too. Not all of my kids like eggs, so I don't do this breakfast. It might be time to give it another try. And the individual preferences of your boys are adorable and very smart to record.
