I forgot the cinnamon -

add 3/4 tsp cinnamon to the dry ingredients part of the muffin recipe :)

Teenager Already?

Keith and I are discussing Abigail's future educational plans with the girls in the back seat of the car. It ends like this:

Mom: I just want Abigail to want to learn. Abigail, do you want to learn?

Abigail: Uh, I already know everything.

I didn't realize that teenager-hood started at 3 1/2.

Come on Mom!

I can't whistle. Never have, probably never will.

So when I call our dog, Jasmine, I say, "Here, Jasmine!" and I click my tongue twice (click, click). I'll also sometimes hold out my hand to her. Lillian and Abigail will call here in similar ways, clicking their tongues as well.

Last night, Lillian wanted me to come to the kitchen with her to get her a snack. She called, "Mom!" then I hear, "click, click" as she held out her hand.

I obediently followed her to the kitchen. Good Mom!
