Sunday Breakfast

I try to make a nice breakfast for the family on Sundays.  This morning, Gillian and John wanted to help.  I put Gillian in charge of coffee, while John helped me make the eggs.  Gillian is the best coffee assistant.  We have a Keurig coffee maker and all Gillian really has to do is load the K-cup and push a button.  We moved a chair over so Gillian could reach the coffee maker, and I gave her two cups.  She picked up a K-cup and asked "Daddy like this one?"  I told her yes, and she made the coffee for Daddy.  She then yelled "Daddy!  You gotta help me!  It's hot, you gotta take it out!"  Daddy helped her taking out the used K-cup and moving the cup of hot coffee.  She then asked me "You like this one?"  She's a smart little lady, she remembers which K-cups Daddy likes and which ones I like. 

Meanwhile, John was assisting me with the eggs.  I was making toad-in-the-hole, and John was cracking the eggs for me to put into the center of the pieces of bread.  He was very good at cracking the eggs and enjoyed it so much that he was ready before I was ready for the next egg.  When we had cooked enough, John called everyone to the kitchen.  He was very proud.  "I helped make the breakfast!" he told Daddy.  Gillian was mad, and said "I made the coffee!"  I am a lucky mommy and I had two helpers this morning. 

Later in the morning, I was ready for my second cup of coffee.  The kids were downstairs playing and I stood in the kitchen and said "I really want another cup of coffee.  I wish I knew how to make one."  And from the basement I heard "I can make it!"  And Gillian came running upstairs.  She even checked on Daddy "Daddy, you need more coffee?"  And she made us all some coffee.
