So I have this dear friend who is like an adopted grandma to the kids...she was Ben's sunbeam teacher years ago and been like part of the family ever since. Her birthday was in Sept. and I wanted to do some thing special for her...and I found out her favorite dessert is Coconut Cream Pie...since it's one of Brandon's too, I made two pies...one for her and her hubby and one for us. It was sooooo delicious.
Then Asher and I set out to make some poppyseed muffins for the boys to take on their campout...since they had to provide their own breakfast. Asher has really turned into the little chef/baker...everyday he wants to help me make something...some mornings he won't even eat breakfast unless he can make his own "recipe" for breakfast...one morning it was rice chex with chocolate chips and sugar and milk all stirred togeter. and Yes I actually let him eat it. I'm turning into a softy. But most mornings we try to make a little more nutritious meals. I think all his cooking is helping him overcome his extreme pickiness...He's actually starting to get a lot more brave when it comes to trying new foods...at least he tastes them...and occassionally he even likes it...but I have to hand it to him for taking bites which is a huge step from where he was a year ago.
