Tyler - 6 years old

Now that I have figured out this Paleo living for myself its time to work on my family. 

The week of Thanksgiving we were really busy preparing food for our 3 Thanksgiving feast in 24 hours, getting the house decorated for Christmas, and preparing for both kiddos birthday party the following week.  I think I picked up fast food 4 times that week for the kids!  I felt so guilty.  How can I feed my children those greasy McD's french fries?  (BTW:  Tyler eats a 6 piece chicken tender happy meal with apples and a large fry.)  I have to make a change.  Tyler's diet has become horrible lately.  I'm not sure what has happened since starting Kindergarten-but he has seemed to drop all healthy foods from his diet.  He claims he doesn't like anything.  He eats goldfish, teddy grahams & marshmallows, chicken nuggets, pizza, taquitos, chips and of course chocolate candy. 

So here's my plan for Tyler.  Start with breakfast.  Get Tyler to eat a Paleo healthy breakfast.  I'm not going to even think about lunch or dinner yet.  Take the next few weeks and work solely on breakfast. 

Here's my rules: 
1.  Paleo Breakfast
2.  No candy until after lunch.  (We have birthday candy & Christmas candy in the house.  This will be gone soon.)

Baby Steps, Baby Steps.
