Breakfast

In the past few years yogurt has been a hit or miss food for me. During my pregnancy with Reese it strangely gave me heartburn, and during my pregnancy with Paige just about everything made me feel ill. But I have discovered a brand and flavor I adore:

Stonyfield Fat Free Lemon Yogurt.

It's pretty fancy as far as I'm concerned--it's organic and it costs $0.88 per cup. I indulged in buying three cups of it last week during my weekly grocery stop. Then, I tried to enjoy it for breakfast. I say "then" because here's what happened to my yogurt this week:

1. My first attempt at yogurt eating came on Tuesday morning. Seeing that Mommy was enjoying something different for breakfast, Reese asked to try a bite. I obliged and she deemed it "scrumptious." After seeing Reese try some, Paige started banging her spoon around, so I gave her a bite too. Fastforward ten minutes and more than half of my yogurt has been devoured by alternating bites between Reese and Paige. I guess that's one way to reduce my calorie intake.

2. On Wednesday morning I got a late start on my breakfast. I opened my yogurt, set it next to my coffee and then promptly had to go change a poopy diaper and get Paige ready for her morning nap. I came back about ten minutes later to find that Reese had abandoned her play and finished off my yogurt for me. I guess she really had enjoyed it on Tuesday. Why did I ever think to share?

3. On Thursday morning I opened my yogurt but got sidetracked yet again after eating only two bites: I suddenly remembered that I HAD to mail our Netflix movie back this morning. (More understandable if you know our mailman's schedule and consider the fact that we had had the said disc in our possession for over a month.) I grabbed the girls and walked across the street to the nearest mailbox to pop it in. Round trip it's not even 100 yards. When we got back I found Annie on her bed with my yogurt cup between her paws licking the cup clean.

I swear I'm not exaggerating...you can't make up this kind of bad breakfast karma.
