No more "cookie"cereal

Today, I was reminded of a profound lesson through my daughter's breakfast cereal.
My husband had bought her cereal that look like tiny cookies before he left. She had the last bowl of that kind yesterday morning. This morning she wanted cereal, again, but there was no more "cookie cereal".
"Mommy will get you some cereal, Emma, but it's a new kind." (Cinnamon Toast Crunch to be exact)
I poured a bowl of it for her and put in on the table. She eyed it and said, "Momma...cookie cereal."
"Try this kind it's very yummy. You will like it, I promise."
She started making a fussy noise. "Emma, this is the new cereal. Try it. Don't fuss. Just try it."
I walked out of the room to get Jensen and when I returned...she was munching happily on the "new cereal."

What a great reminder for me during these big changes. It's not the old "cereal" that I loved, but it's very yummy and "You will like it, I promise."
Never thought in my wildest dreams that I'd be a military wife. Seriously, if someone would have said on my wedding day that in six years, Mike would be in basic training, I would have laughed and said that they're nuts.
Yet, here we are. Six years and two children later...an Army family.

So, I'm taking small bites of this new "cereal", still not sure that I'll like it. Hopefully, I will.
