The children have become quite the "mommy's helpers" lately! They are very excited for any little task we give them to do, and of course, we're more than willing to feed their excitement and assign them all little chores to do everyday. (Child labor? No. Redirection of excess energy? YES!)
Ma-lak helps daddy take the trash out and makes lots of noise "fluffing" the new garbage bags to reline the trash cans. Rea and Ni'ke are in charge of sweeping up crumbs after meals (along with changing the toilet paper rolls, even before they need it) and Ya'shar is really good at wiping off the kitchen table with a super soppy, drippy sponge. We all work really well as a team. (smile)
So this morning, Rea begged if she could help make breakfast for everyone, and in efforts to encourage her autonomous spirit, I said, "Go for it!" The result was this very healthy toaster waffle loaded with butter and cinnamon sugar. (see picture above) And no, I didn't let her eat it. A good first try, though, and she'll only improve, right?! Bon appetit!
