Reasons # 201 and 202 that my kids are totally spoiled

I have a confession to make.

I totally spoil my kids and I do it often.

We try not to give them too many "things"

because no one wants to raise a spoiled brat,

but I have to admit that there

are little things that I do for them

that are totally indulgent.

For example...

Whenever it's really chilly outside,

I put their coats in the dryer

for a few minutes before 

we walk out the door.

That way they can feel

nice and toasty

when they walk to and from the car.

Totally unnecessary and indulgent, I know

but I just love to see their little faces

when they put their coats on and the warmth envelopes them.

They look like they feel totally loved.

 

Both of my kids are picky eaters

and don't really want to eat breakfast in the morning.

Knowing that I can't very well send them

to school on an empty stomach,

I make them Mickey Mouse pancakes.

Every. Single. Morning.

They gobble them up

and I pat myself on the back

for getting food in their tummies.

Breakfast is so much more awesome

when Mickey Mouse is involved.

See what I mean?

My kids are totally spoiled.

 I know that the real world doesn't

care if your coat is toasty 

or if your breakfast is fun

but as long as I am in charge of their world,

I plan to make them feel special

in small simple ways.

As long as they don't act spoiled.
Then they'll have to tough it out
with room temperature coats
and plain ol' pancakes.
