Possibly I deserve an award

REmember how I slaved away in the kitchen yesterday evening? I even washed all the dishes afterwards, even though my helper was coming today and could have washed them for me. I am trying to become one of htose people who don't go to bed with dirty dishes in the sink. The trouble is just that dirty dishes don't really bother me till they start attracting creatures, so I am working against my nature.

But I digress. Last night I made batter for pancakes, which I cooked this morning. These were not just any pancakes, folks, these were Deceptively Delicious pancakes. I used the recipe from Jessica Seinfeld's book, which adds 1/2 cup of sweet potato puree. My kids loved them. Last night while I was making the puree, Max ate like half a cup of it, lol. I dont' know why I bother if he'll just eat straight sweet potato.

MAX

I gave Max a vitamin this morning, and he asked for another one for Jack and then went into the living room where Jack was sitting. A couple of minutes later, I asked Jack if he had taken his vitamin, and he said, "Where is it? What follows is hte conversation I had with Max regarding the vitamin:
M: Max, where is Jack's vitamin?
m: Ummm, {averts eyes} mouth?
M: Your mouth or his?
m: {bats eyelashes, opens mouth wide} my did it! {erupts into giggles}

Then he says, ,"Jack. Vitamin?" and I give him another one but this time follow him to make sure JACK gets the vitamin, and he crawls up on the couch, then CHECKS to see if I am watching, sees that I am, erupts into giggles again and gives Jack the vitamin. I mean, seriously, he's not even two and already he is an accomplished deceiver!

JACK

Joel picked the mid-sized child up from school today and brought him to the offfice, where I was working. I asked Joel, in Malay, if Jack had eaten. Jack answered "Yo" in Chinese. (it means yes) So I asked Jack, "Makan apa?" (What did you eat?) and he answered in English, "Chicken & Rice". So one conversation, three languages. I love this part of my life!

I WORKED HARD
At the office this morning, for like two hours straight. Then I finished this layout. ;)
