Negotiating with an insanely handsome four-year-old is fun. HA! I had two HEALTHY recipes picked out that I wanted to try last weekend but my kid was not having it and I must say, he is very persuading.
We made French toast-Canyon’s FAVORITE.
I tried reasoning with him but his mind was made up (I choose my battles). At least the bread was wheat.
I let him do most of the preparation—Our mess was amazing, remember I’m compared to Julia Child and my kid is just like me—and he had a blast.

Now, I am sure most of you know how to make French toast so I am going to spare you the recipe. HOWEVER, I do recommend cooking with your kids. It’s not only fun but it’s rewarding. When Canyon finished cooking his French toast and I put it on a plate and let him drown it in syrup, the look on his face was priceless.
“I made this momma.”
And, I said, “That’s right bud, you did! Great job! Now, eat it all up!”—He did.
Being a mom has taught me that the mess you make is worth it and we make A LOT of messes in my house. I’m OCD which is why this is such a huge deal to me. I’ve definitely grown as a person since I became a mommy.
It’s Thursday and this is my first blog of the week. I try to write at least two a week. I’ve been so busy lately that I didn’t even realize it was Thursday. CRAZY!
October is halfway gone already. Time goes by TOO fast.
This weekend is my anniversary and Dale and I plan to celebrate but, of course, he has left all the planning up to me. Lovely. Now, I am trying to decide WHAT I want to do. Dinner for sure but where?
I’ll blog about our anniversary this weekend—Taking a timeout and remembering to appreciate each other is a big part of why our relationship is successful. :)
