My oldest son used to love oatmeal. I mean LOVE oatmeal. He could eat it 3 times a day and be perfectly happy. This went on for a couple of years. Then, overnight, something happened and he has since professed to hate oatmeal and won't hardly touch the stuff. I should just let it go, but oatmeal really is the perfect breakfast food. It's fast, filling, and healthy.....what more could a busy mom want?
I finally found an oatmeal that he'll eat.....little did I know all I had to do was add chocolate. I should have figured this one out a long time ago. He's his mothers child! We'll eat anything if you add chocolate to it! You should have heard him when he came in the kitchen for breakfast...."chocolate? we get CHOCOLATE? for BREAKFAST?" he usually only gets chocolate for breakfast at his Papas house.....he thought he'd scored big time.
