See, Wyatt (my adorable almost 6 year old) gets up really early every day. He usually gets a drink, maybe a cereal bar and watches t.v. until I get up and make him get ready for school.
Today however, he became a chef. He made cookies (he broke them into smaller pieces) and cut up a banana, an orange, grapes, and poured a yogurt into a bowl. He served this too me with a big glass of milk. He is incredibly thoughtful! But I am on a diet. I am counting calories... and I was staring at a plate full of them. So I picked at the grapes and banana and he starts badgering me, saying that I don't like his breakfast & making me feel awful. So I told him it was a lot of food & could he help me eat it. He did a little and then watched me try to eat the rest. I convinced him to let me save the orange & yogurt for a snack, and he helped eat the cookies. Ugh! I bet I ate over 300 calories before I even had a cup of coffee!
So then when I am bringing him to school I told him that I thought he should only make breakfast on weekends, when daddy was home to enjoy it too. He kind of left feeling like I didn't like it!! I tried to explain that I just can't eat that much for breakfast... didn't go over well!
I guess today I am a bad mom and a bad dieter:( Now I feel like crap because I ate too much and my kid worked so hard & I asked him not to do it again!
