Yesterday Jasper and I made strawberry cupcakes for his preschool Valentine's party for the kids to frost and decorate.He had so much fun adding the ingredients, running the mixer, and setting out the cupcake liners. And of course helping to rinse out the dishes in the sink
Because anything that involves running the kitchen sink sprayer is a delight. It's gotten so bad that after I rinse a dish or pot or pan Jasper pipes up with, "My turn". Meaning -- now I get a turn to "play" in the sink.
I know, I know -- be grateful your kid wants to do dishes. But he's a splish-splasher and it seems to always involve an outfit change.
This morning I told him that today was his big Valentine party and he would get to share the cupcakes we made with his friends at preschool.
Not my best idea, because then Jasper would not stop saying
PINK CUPCAKE -- MINE.
So for breakfast he ate a pink cupcake. And he loved every last crumbly crumb. The new breakfast of champions -- strawberry cupcakes.
