I get bored easily. Children are no different. Sure, cut through phases where all I want is peanut butter and jelly on white bread with the crusts they go. And you can go the the same crazy sandwich every day for months.
But ultimately, if you give time, they will begin to crave different. (Yes, I promise. The key is to be patient and let them decide for themselves when they are ready to expand their repertoire.)
