I haven't posted much lately, because we haven't tried any new recipes. It's been the same stuff lately. Too hot to cook... Eric has been gone, so I haven't been cooking anything elaborate... I'm lazy... pick an excuse. But since we have a frequent reader, (Hi, Grandma!) we'll try to post more, even if it's a repeat meal.
We strapped Tommy into his swing (because it's the only way to keep him from climbing onto the counters) and made lunch together. Katiebug requested tomato soup. She did pretty much everything for the soup. I just opened the can for her, then walked her through it. She added the milk and the basil.
I insisted we have grilled cheese with it, because otherwise they'd be asking for a snack ten minutes later. Katie flipped her sandwich, all by herself! (and this time, I got a pic of it... kind of...) She likes her grilled cheese squished, so the cheese melts into the bread better, and she did that on her own, too.
Katie, what part did you like the best?
Adding the soup!
How did you like flipping?
That was fun! I went oop! then I flipped and it went psssssttt!
Do you think you can make it by yourself next time?
No.
What part do you still need help with?
Squeezing the sandwich real tight.
But you did that part!
Then I can do all of it! I can read, and I can flip, and I can do the soup. I can do anything!
Wheat bread was the only kind we had defrosted, but both kids devoured it. I choked it down. We added sour cream and cheddar cheese to the soup after it was dished out. Neither kid left any soup in their bowl.
