Well strictly speaking this blog was to document evening meals, but I thought I'd add in this mornings attempt at improving their diets.
Normally they eat breakfast cereal which can only be described as 'confection', but as I wandered around Spinneys last night I found myself about to pick up a box of sugar-coated sugar snacks and thought 'hang on, I'm trying to improve their diets here, so why on earth would I buy this?' I searched the shelves for an alternative until my eyes fell on a box of Weetabix: 'Ah yes, that's exactly the thing!'
This morning, six dubious eyes watched me open the packet and fill their bowls. Adding in milk and honey they fell to the job of eating them. Within 30 seconds eight year old boy was asking for more -- SUCCESS!
Naturally, nine year old girl resisted, gagged and complained but ate them all the same. Six year old boy asked for more although he didn't get to finish them as the bus arrived.
This experiment is going well.....
