My kids love December! Yes they are excited for presents, big family gatherings, decorating the tree and all that comes with the lead up to Christmas. That said the highlight of December is getting chocolate for breakfast EVERY SINGLE DAY for a whole month. This year trying to be smart and avoid the sugar craze every morning I did not get them chocolate calendars instead I got the Vtech GO! GO! Smart Wheels and Crayola calendars (not sponsored, I paid for those bad boys with my husbands hard earned pay check). But Uncles have minds of their own and chocolate has been a morning highlight.
What I thought would be a super fun morning activity has instead caused more headaches then the chocolate! 2 year olds are these magical creatures that seem to thrive on minimal sleep and stale french fries. Every day at 5:30 am he is up asking to open his calendar and making the sled sing all its joyous Christmas music. Considering how little sleep he allows me at night, he should be prefacing these morning wake ups with a mug of coffee.
SO if you are thinking that you want to ditch the chocolate for something a little healthier and long lasting, well here is your warning! I hope your December is progressing along nicely with a shrinking Christmas list, parties aplenty and copious amounts of morning chocolate!!
