today
So, Kate made french toast this morning. She did a good job. I also showed her how to clean up, as she cooked the french toast. End result, the kitchen is just a bit cleaner then when she started. I love that, it annoys me when you have a huge mess after cooking. So, I'm doing the extra work, to show Kate how to do both.
Of course part of the reason I do it, is I hate waiting for things to cook or for the next step. Rather then waiting with nothing to do, you might as well clean up as you wait. It's a win-win. :)
Kate's french toast got the teenager's seal of approval. I think she was pleasantly surprised. I think I need to be in the room with her one more time, as she cooks. If that goes well, she should be set to cook it by herself. I'm not certain how she compares to other 10 year olds, with the things she's learning. However, she's enjoying it, doing a good job and taking pride in it. I think that's all good.
I'm going to play a bit on one of my games, then I'll go downstairs in about an hour. That's a good time to start some laundry and play more X-men with Kate. I'm thinking of getting another 2 person game this week, so we can play it, together.
Malcolm's out un-winding a bit from the stress of this week, with a motorcycle ride. When he gets back, he's grilling some hamburgers. I think we (kate and myself) may make some homemade desset to go with it.
It's a good day. I'm really looking forward to this week. Sometimes, a bit of change is good to realize how good things can be or are.. :) Hopefully, I'll get more stuff moved around this week.. as I have time.
