Growing up with a little of both and the lessons learned along the way
From the daily archives:
Maile is big on doing things herself these days. She doesn’t need our help. (Unless it involves going to the bathroom in the middle of the night – apparently between the hours of 1 AM and 5 AM she forgets that she’s an independent little girl.)
In any event, at times this can be maddening. At other times, pure comedy. Which is how we arrive at Maile blowing up a balloon by herself.

Maile Girl here! Thought I’d write a hello for Mother’s Day. This morning, Lauren and I woke Daddy up early (surprise, surprise) and we set to work making a yummy breakfast surprise for Mommy. Daddy said that Grandma Jill’s Strawberry Soup would be perfect. Now, I love strawberries (and soup is typically pretty good too) – but I had never had strawberry ANd soup before. Plus, isn’t soup supposed to be hot? Daddy told me that Strawberry Soup was served cold AND that we could make bowls out of cantaloupes. For a second I thought maybe we had indeed woken Daddy up too early, but he had a plan so I went along for the ride.
And, boy am I glad I did. Not only was the soup super fun to make, but it was delicious too! Mommy was super happy when we surprised her with the breakfast. We even let her sleep until 8:30 AM – which is pretty much the latest she has ever slept (at least in my lifetime!)
Bowls out of cantaloupes? Crazy - but Daddy told me to start scooping...
I get very focused when I'm cooking...
After you get the bowls done, you just need to pour in the soup! (Daddy made it the night before so it was all chilled and ready to rock...)
The best part of the cooking part is the EATING part 🙂
