Breakfast Hierarchy

Part of the morning routine at our house is that I stop in the living room before leaving for work and hang out with Elaina for a few minutes. 

So, this past Thursday morning, I was sitting in the living room, and Elaina was busily playing with her kitchen and toy food.  She put a plastic fried egg and a plastic donut on a plate, and I thought, “Hey, that’s pretty good—she’s putting food on plates before carrying them around”. 

When I saw she was bringing the plate to me, my next thought was, “Oh, how sweet—she’s bringing Daddy breakfast.”

“Thank you, Sweetie,” I said, with a big smile on my face…as Elaina walked past me, set the plate down in front of Duck, and proceeded to have him eat the egg and donut.
