Today I made blueberry muffins ("blooberry mubbins") with the cutest little two year old. It was extremely exciting for the both of us. He scampered around the kitchen pulling mixing bowls, a muffin pan and spoons out of the drawers before I could find them myself. And when I had to open the can of blueberries he ran to one corner of the kitchen and pointed up at the counter, "There, the right. No, that side!" Lo and behold, I found a can opener, among an assorted pile of kitchen utensils. He even explained how it works: "Daddy turn it and, and it open." I let him pour everything himself and when the muffin mix got on my hand, he said "Oh oh, getting on your hand, Gace!" He even told me to turn on the oven before we started. Uh, I don't think I ever realized to preheat the oven until I was in high school. When it was all done, he asked for a plate and blew on the hot mubbins for a good five minutes before he ate them. // I love babysitting.
