Cookies for breakfast? No? OK, is it lunchtime?

So, we all woke up a little late this morning and so didn’t have time to make the usual oatmeal.
For Markus, that wasn’t so much of an issue. He ate two Yo Baby yogurts and was happy as a clam.
For Rafael, well, he had spied a leftover fortune cookie in the kitchen and that’s all he had in mind.
“No, Rafael,” I told him. “We don’t eat cookies for breakfast.”
“For lunch?” he asked, hopefully.
“Well, after lunch,” I offered.
“For dinner?” he inquired, still hopeful.
“After lunch or dinner,” I said.
“Then can we have lunch?” he asked, smiling his “Aren’t I so adorable even though I’m a complete mischief-maker?” smile.
I would have explained that that wasn’t how it worked, but I knew he knew that.
He got a bagel (no butter, cream cheese, he likes ‘em plain).

OMG, my son has that very same smile! Gets away with way too much because of it! Thanks for the bagel reminder though, breakfast is always a challenge, I’ll have to remember to add bagels to our grocery list this week!
Bagels are a huge help. Our nearby bagel place (we’re in the NY metro area, so they’re everywhere) has mini-bagels, too, and when he was smaller, he used to munch out on those. Now that he’s bigger, he gets a whole “big boy” bagel and is happy to eat a bagel anytime, anywhere.
