DOUBLE!!

At our house, Cheerios are quite frequent.  Andy has taught the girls about the "double", "triple" and "boat".  Here Stella has found a double and a boat.  These are usually screamed at the top of their lungs as though they've got a "BINGO!"


A boat is when the cheerio looks like a sail boat:


A double just means 2 are stuck together, but not in boat-fashion:


Fun times at our house during breakfast...fun times.

OMG, it's amazing how excited kids get about doubles and triples in their cereal! I'd never heard of Boat before. :-)

We also hear "I got a Double!" screamed at the top of their lungs. Lately, that's been immediately followed by sobbing and blubbering that "I want a Double! You got it last time!"

This, in addition to all the "required" routines that must be followed to a "t" or else all he!l breaks loose (like which spoon to use, stopping the microwave exactly when it reaches 1 second so we don't hear the beeps, which cereal gets poured into the bowl first (b/c we have to have a mix each day, etc.), makes for very peaceful and pleasant starts to our morning.

Love your photos!
