A decorative bucket, a cloth napkin to kind of drape on the inside, and the breakfast foods. That is all you need. I found all items in my home already. Easy peesy. You can do this too, very very easily. On the bar, by the door to the garage, on a side table on the way out of the house, whatever it takes.
Why this works: Our breakfast bucket is right on the kitchen counter on our way to the garage. It's like breakfast is finding us! Also, my monkey (Kellen) keeps his feet on the ground with this method. And finally, there are only 3 (sort of) options for breakfast in our breakfast bucket. If the selection is limited then the process of elimination is a lot easier. In our bucket we have pop tarts, granola bars, and raisins. Please note: Kellen eats something with the raisins - like a piece of bread or a boost. Here's a close up...
How is everyone coming on their lists?
My spare bedroom is coming along very nicely! I had help this weekend with some major organization of my closet and "the crazy" room! Thanks for the inspiration!!!
Your container of mom approved snacks is a great idea. Have you also tried a breakfast "station" like the one you made for your son to get dressed? Something like a bowl of cereal with plastic wrap over the top that has a ready to go cup of milk in the fridge?
