Cooking Dinner

So today there wasn't anything really exciting that happenned at school because she wasn't too chatty on the way home. Although, when I dropped her off at school, she managed to keep half the Kindergarten line-up waiting on the playground because she wasn't paying attention. She turned her back to tell the girl behind her some elaborate story that involved great hand gestures and half the class walked in the building. Nobody spoke up so she continued on for over a minute before she realized she was holding everybody up. So, with a startled look, she literally ran forward into her third day of school.

Apart from school, this evening she insisted on making us pancakes. So, she mixed the batter adding vanilla (per Dad's suggestion) and lemon flavor. Then she poured them in the pan and flipped them herself, and she actually did end up making dinner. Sadly, the lemon flavor was used excessively because she likes to drink it directly out of the fake lemon and thought it would surely be good in pancakes. I thought they were still edible, but I didn't exactly reference them the same way Molly did stating, "Mom, these are SUPER delicious!" I see no reason why a 5 year old that cooks pancakes can't do the dishes, but apparently that chore is just too hard for a kindergartener.
