This morning, Riley decided to get up early and cook breakfast for the family. He decided to make pancakes and bacon. Great idea, except that he accidentally used the entire box of batter. The result was the world's biggest pancake! (cue music Duh Duh Duh!). It took three spatulas to turn this gargantuan flapjack, which we eventually divided into four giant pancakes.
It was so funny, but I was trying not to laugh. He was so earnest and trying so hard to do something nice for the family. The whole thing reminded me of that old episode of the Brady Bunch where one of the boys (Peter, I think) decided to wash his own clothes and used the entire box of detergent. The result was predictable: A flooded utility room and soap all over the floor, even coming out under the door.
This morning's breakfast was great. I truly appreciate the effort it took for Riley to get up early and make breakfast. He really is coming along in his culinary endeavors. I also appreciate moments like this. I know they won't last forever, and that he will eventually learn his way around the kitchen. In the meantime, I just sat back and enjoyed our very BradyBreakfast!
