Mission: Breakfast in Bed

Layne pushes hard for independence. I have to really weigh the severity of the possible mistakes that might be encountered from the task he is requesting. He is beginning to have more successes than injuries, crying, messes and broken objects. This week he cooked his own lunch. I was without a clear view of the kitchen, nursing the baby. All he asked me “How much fire; big, medium or little?” When he was done, I asked him how he did. He said “Really good, I didn’t even get any cracks!” I guess he was most worried about getting shell in his egg than, I don’t know…getting burned.
