Oatmeal

I have found the way into Sophie's heart: oatmeal. It's not that she's not a morning person, it's just that, like the rest of us, she doesn't like to be awoken from a deep sleep and rushed through her morning routines. Usually, there is a decent amount of protesting/crying in our house from 6:30 am until 6:50 am, as this is the time when I wake Sophie up, dress her, and try to talk her into to eating something. But this week, all of that changed. I found the answer to our peaceful morning prayers in oatmeal. Sophie loves the stuff and will happily be hauled out of her crib for a nice warm bowl. She even spoons any oatmeal remnants out of her bib after her bowl has been emptied.
