Cheese

Today I am grateful for cheese. The Friendly Hero loves cheese. He demanded cheese--and since he was melting down because I put the wheat away....let me back up. I made granola and the Friendly Hero helped me count out 14 cups of oats. He wanted to keep going, and pulled out the wheat bucket. I think that it's an easy way to get him to "help" but actually get something done in the kitchen. I open up the wheat and let him play in it. He spilled less than a quarter cup on the floor and then slipped and fell on it. So I am a smart Mom and I put the wheat away.

Commence a melt down of epic proportions--dinner was late because it was late day for the Bug Hero, and the Friendly Hero was tired. And I put the wheat away. There is nothing left for the Friendly Hero except for cheese. So I give him cheese and he wants the block of cheese. I hand it to him not thinking much of it.

Five minutes later he hands it back to me.


He likes his cheese.

I am also grateful for the audio book "The Help" by Kathryn Stockett. Amazing! I'm only half way through too.
