My First Baking Experience

21 June 2008

Never knew baking scones could be so easy. All it took was a simple recipe, some measuring and mixing. Using the cookie cutters was just as fun for me as it was for Peanut. My only distant memories of my cooking/baking lessons in secondary school was baking rock buns and appreciative comments from supportive family members - something about 'no wonder it's called rock buns'. Btw, that was also the last time I baked anything! Tiramisu doesn't count since it did not involve any baking.

My New School

Photos sent via email to me by Peanut's new school, Pre-School By the Park, of Peanut on his first day at school yesterday.

Looks like he's totally adjusted to his new environment and friends. For the 1st time, he said this morning, "Mama, I want to go school." This is exceptional from someone whose oft repeated phrase alternates between "I don't want" and an emphatic "no"; and when he desires something, it's a disinterested "ok".

Especially like the 2nd photo. There's something unusually sweet about it - to have one toddler driving (oops, I mean pedaling - like a modern trishaw?) another as passenger ... Peanut seems to be learning to share. Here is another piece of evidence:

It's pretty good value for money - $1 coin ride for 2. But that look on Peanut's face - priceless!

I was at a loss as to what to do with this Christmas gift for Peanut and it has been in the cupboard all this time ..

Well, it has been put to good use for his imaginery play. Just a little confusing for the pet dog... poor Moogi.
