Daily Thanks Day 17

Today I am thankful for a big imagination.

I know I have  posted a lot of thanks for my son, but he amazes me almost daily.

Yesterday while making him pancakes he got in to a kitchen drawer to play.  He said my mixer attachment was a tree and the bird cookie cutter was stuck.  In his little voice he took the candy cane cookie cutter and said “don’t worry, I save you.  I to da rescue!  Mama, it a giant candy cane.  I hook birdy, I get baby birdy down, I save him.”

His face just beaming with pride.

I just love his imagination.

Daily Thanks Day 14

 

Today I am thankful for sprinkles on pancakes.

For Ian’s birthday this year I made him these Cake Batter Pancakes.  About four or five months later I made him pancakes and he looks up at me raises is palms up and asks “where da sprinkles mama?”

Where are the sprinkles?  So now we don’t always have sprinkles on our pancakes, but we do when he asks for them.

Recently we were with my mom at the craft store and he saw these Christmas sprinkles and asked for them, and of course Bamma gave in and purchased them.  The next morning’s pancakes, and yesterdays, started getting in the Christmas spirit by donning themselves in sugary goodness.

Good thing we brush our teeth after breakfast, nothing like a coating of syrup and sprinkles to eat away at enamel.
