Week 23 : Breakfast

She stands in the kitchen, her hair's a mess and she's still in her pajamas. The ingredients for pancakes are on the counter and she's pulling out bowls and utensils, also there's a pan with sizzling sausages on the range. And I wonder how did I make a child that really likes to cook?

Don't get me wrong there are good cooks in our family it's just that there have been only a scant few who've loved to cook. So it surprises me to see both my kids, especially the youngest, display a love of cooking. But there she is, happily cracking an egg into a bowl, turning sausages and flipping pancakes.

The sausages are delicious and as I munch another pancake I thank Mother Nature for going back all those generations to dig up the genes that make my daughter remind me so much of my grandmother. I also wonder what other surprises are in store for me to discover about both my children.

Life is never dull when there are kids in the house!
