Cake time

September 15, 2007

Melina wanted to bake a cake yesterday. We read how George made a cake in her Curious George birthday book so all she wanted to do was to bake a cake like George, so we did. Bill had to go to the store and get us eggs, but we kept busy while he was gone. She mixed, measured, poured and stirred for quite some time. Oh and shake too. We were almost done and she said "Mommy, we forgot to shake, we MUST shake." So I gave her the pepper (to go in a different bowl obviously, not the cake bowl). She loves baking and cooking. We took a toddler baking class together a couple of months ago and it was a disaster---the teacher moved so slow that she (and I) were bored instantly. Melina had no interest in baking the bread during that class because the teacher was teaching the class like the kids were 10, not under 2! Anyway, we skipped the rest of the classes and have been baking and cooking together at home and at Nono and Nona's house. She is having a blast.
