I like the focus on the child and the breakfast. Great story.

Your writing style feels a bit different in this entry. Are you trying out new ideas, or is it just my imagination?

I agree Judd, the best distraction from the world of bills and work and stress and crime and ugliness, is my daughter. Watching her do anything, colour with her crayons (which turns into colouring on everything but the paper), feeding herself (let’s see how much of this i can mush into my hair/nose/diaper), or playing with her toys (dragging a toy across the room, standing on it to get up onto the couch in order to give the cat a big hug). I find myself wondering how I ever got through life before I had her. How did I ever cope with the world before I looked at it through her eyes? Wonderful creatures, these children are.

I love to watch kids and how their brains work. Untainted by the world and grown up responsibility…free to create whatever logic their little minds tell them is appropriate. I too am amazed to watch these little people grown and form personality and charm.

I miss it.

Independence in our children is such a double edged sword. I love to see it and hate it at the same time because…well, because I love my kiddos. Sometimes they succeed and sometimes they fail, and especially when they’re small, the failures can be a heck of a mess to clean up after! :P

Mmmm, french toast sounds yummy! I think I’ll make some now. Next time give her the spoon and see if she’ll feed herself. If not, DUCK!

I’m actually making french toast today!!! Defrosting the bread as I read your entry. My daughter loves it when I put peanut butter (yours is probably a bit small for pnut butter?) on it (like a sandwich and then dip in the eggy mess and cook) but I also put vanilla extract in the eggy mess and cook it up that way. It adds a sweetness that really even could do without syrup and just butter. :)

Kids are GREAT.
