To get a bowl of cereal

7 steps for getting a bowl of cereal for little one
1) open cupboard door and ask little one which cereal he wants (having only 2-3 options available makes this easier)
2) Pour selected cereal into clean bowl. Please use clean bowl. If you don't use a clean bowl, the little one will loudly protest and refuse to eat cereal.
3) When first selected cereal has been poured prepare to re-open cupboard and get second or third available cereal and add it to the bowl as little one will probably have already changed his mind and be crying for different cereal.
4) Pour milk into bowl. Make sure cereal is completely covered (prevents another protest).
5) Get raisons but DO NOT add until they are specifically asked for. Adding them too soon may result in melt-down. Better to wait--but be prepared as they WILL be asked for.
6) Have at least two clean spoons of two different sizes available to eat cereal. Most of the time the little one will eat with the smaller spoon but only having that one available may result in protest.
7) Have napkins available to help clean up spills. Again, don't provide clean-up for spill until requested. Little ones like the independence of noticing the spill and cleaning it up themselves.
