Recently, I returned from a business trip and was on the bed getting a little shut eye (had to wake up like 3am that morning to catch a 6am flight) when I was startled by the banging of metal. I opened my eyes to see Kari with a muffin pan calling me and pointing to the kitchen. I really thought I was daydreaming. I couldn't believe he actually wanted to make muffins. While he enjoys preparing meals with us, he and I have never actually baked anything before. He was obviously curious about the muffin pan and I was only interested in sleeping. So what did I do? I did what any father who enjoys his child and wants as little regrets in life as possible would do. I won't tell you it was easy to get out of bed but I'm glad I did. I mentioned in an earlier post that our toddlers do not know or understand when we are tired but they know they want to spend time with mommy and daddy.
It took him about 5 minutes of banging, calling and pointing to get me out of bed. However, we eventually started our baking. I pulled up a chair to the counter for him, got the ingredients and set off on our little adventure. Kari enjoys adding ingredients to dishes. He added a dash of this and that, broke a few eggs (his favorite thing now), and mixed it all up.
We both had fun. As with many activities, after awhile he lost interest so I had to finish up on my own. The muffins turned out pretty good and we all enjoyed it.
