Those little things

I have been trying to structure Marcelus' mealtimes more. He eats healthy but it's basically all little snacks at whatever times he feels like them. I won't ever make him wait for food because I know that I couldn't have someone do that to me, and he was 4% weight last time, but I still want him to eat more on a schedule, so I've been trying it for at least breakfast - plus it's been hard because I kind of don't have as big of appetite as usual. Anyway, it has been hard because Marce wakes up so early now that I am not ready to get up so initially he'll have a snack when he gets up and then our normal breakfast at a more normal time after I am up. I make us pancakes, eggs, and this morning I made us Oatmeal and toast. This morning I got our food and we were sitting at the table together and after a couple minutes I looked over and Marce had done exactly what I had.
We grew up tearing our toast up in small peices and putting it in the Oatmeal and kind of mixing it up and then eating it. It sounds weird but it's not really. We got that from my mom and her family I guess. I don't know if she even remembers who in her family started that but anyway, I don't want Oatmeal any other way. It was cute, I looked over and his wasn't mixed in, and the peices were a little big but boy kids do watch you huh, and he's carrying on just one of those little things...

BTW: Marce got up in the night last night and after a few "No's" and stuff, I carried him back to his bed, he climbed in and curled up and went to sleep...at least he hasn't had to have the door shut more than once, if only he would stop waking up or coming out in the first place...AND I'd really love it if he would sleep in a little longer, but I don't know if that one's going to happen.
