Never a dull... breakfast


8:00 a.m. some weekday morning

Levi: "Mom, I'm hungry. Can I have a snack?"
Me: "We're going to have breakfast in just a few minutes. Why don't you pick out the cereal you want and put it on the table."
Levi: "Okay."

Sounds straighforward enough, right? Nothing is straighforward with Levi. Here is what I encounter on the dining room table five minutes later: every box of cereal we had in the cupboard, a jug of milk, spoons, a plate (but no bowls) at each place with one strawberry on each plate except mine, and a half-empty can of olives from the fridge ("cuz there weren't enough strawberries for you to have one, so you can have olives instead"). Even breakfast is an adventure with this boy!

* The above picture is not from breakfast -- it's just a random picture of a typical day with Levi. Here he illustrated his skeleton.
