Pancakes anyone?

Jonah burst into our bedroom this morning exclaiming that he needed a skillet so he could make pancakes for Hannah. Apparently, Hannah informed him that she was starving and needed pancakes for breakfast, so he decided to take it on himself to make them for her. What a sweet brother, right?

Joey shut the idea down and told Jonah he needed to get dressed for school instead. A little while later, I found myself in the kitchen looking at this:
The boy got out everything he thought he needed for pancakes. The line-up: milk, sugar, one egg, Bisquick, flour (which is actually fish batter mix that he thought was flour), and a pot. I can see why he ran into the room asking for a skillet. He must have realized that pot wasn't going to cut it. I just love how he lined them up on the counter, don't you? Ha! I also love how he is desperately trying to read the instructions in this photo. Very determined, that boy.

Anyway, I navigated around this one by promising that I would let him help me make a yummy breakfast for dinner tonight.

P.S. - Note to self: Teach Jonah how to properly make pancakes without using fish batter.

P.S.S. - Another note to self: Clean the footprints off the counter top (I just realized the only way a four foot tall boy can reach the Bisquick in our house is by standing on the counter top.)

P.S.S.S. - Final note to self: Give Jonah an extra hug today. He deserves it after that sweet "tickle" moment. Love you, son.
