Shaun and Shae are eating machines and I mean machines. They want to eat every second of the day.
On Saturday mornings I tend to go downstairs before Melinda to make coffee. Typically it is 6:30-7am when I go downstairs and Shaun and Shae are close behind and want to have breakfast immediately upon getting downstairs. Shae is still rubbing sleep from her eyes when she says “Daddy, I have breakfast”? Serious? What happened to sitting around for a few minutes first?
Shaun is a whole different story. Shaun always wants to eat breakfast in front of the TV. He always says “Dad can I eat my cereal in the living room with a tray”? If I say no a lot of times he will says ok never mind. He only says never mind because he wants to watch TV and doesn’t want to miss a second because he has to eat at the kitchen table. I know he is hungry but the TV wins out temporarily and he will wait until his show is over to eat.
That is just breakfast. LOL. Snack is fun times also!!! If Shaun eats breakfast and 7am by 9am he is asking for a snack. Now lets not be fooled for breakfast he has cereal, fruit and a glass of milk. It’s not like we give him a slice of bread and that is it. I think he just likes to eat. Actually I know he loves to eat. Shae must have the Shaun gene because she likes to munch too. Shae is good for asking Melinda for lunch at around 10am after eating a huge breakfast at 7am.
My kids are not overweight at all and I am surprised they aren’t because let me tell you they eat like it’s their job.
