THIS GIRL CAN EAT!!

OKAY, this little girl is somewhat serious about her food! This is her typical first breakfast of the day, minus the handful of cheerios that I didn't put on her tray yet. Her typical breakfast consists of: 2 eggs, a banana, and cheerios. Or, a bowl of oatmeal, banana and cheerios. She eats this about 7:45- 8:00 before Jazzercise, and then requires a snack of cheerios/fruit/or crackers about 9:00 just after arriving to Jazzercise. I'm telling you, she never stops eating! For those of you who know me very well, please note that the food on Acacia's tray are both foods that I despise for myself. I cannot stand bananas or eggs (unless they are hard-boiled). I have made a very wise choice to feed my children everything I don't like. I'm very grateful for that choice because both Luca and Acacia love everything I hate. Eggs, bananas, oranges and raisins.
There are a few rules that all should know about Acacia's feeding time:
1. When she's hungry, give it to her now! (or you'll be sorry)
2. Don't mess with her food!
3. If you're eating, you better be prepared to share with this little piggy or you'll never hear the end of it.
4. She doesn't want the foo foo food at mealtime anymore. It better be real food or else!
5. There must be a snack available at all times. To be unprepared with a snack could create a dramatic/traumatic tantrum.
6. Beware. This little girl EATS all the time!!
I don't think Acacia's belly is ever full. Thank goodness for a fast Varga metabolism.
