PANCAKES anyone??????????

TATE'S PLACE...fresh pancakes daily

While I was gathering laundry last Monday morning...

Tatum made pancakes.

He cut the bag open, dumped some mix in a bowl and most of the mix on the floor, added water, pulled out the griddle and dumped the mix. The mess extended from the pantry to the back of the couch. I only left him alone for 5 minutes! How was such a mess possible. At the very moment I saw the powder and turned the corner to see his proud face I was blessed with patience. To my surprise I was not upset and I quickly grabbed the camera for a memory. He was proud and I had a big mess to clean up. Tatum willingly helped me clean up the mess and by the time we were done we were both covered in pancake powder. Later in the day Mark came home and spotted powder on the back of the couch...he asked

WHAT HAPPENED?
My response...Tatum make pancakes!

Our new joke all week has been...Give Tatum 5 minutes and he'll make pancakes for the whole family!

Oh man, patience right then WAS a blessing. Almost impossible to get mad though when you can see that he was really thinking it through. He wanted pancakes and he was going to have some! Love it.
