and baby makes 6!

It's just another day in paradise

Making cawfee

How do you know that you are a total and complete cawfee addict…..a freak of giganticus proportions?

When your 2yo daughter does not immitate you cleaning, but knows the sequence one must follow in order to produce the perfect cup of macchiato because she has seen it more times than she has seen you clean the house.

She starts with the perfect jadeite cup

Add coffee to the brewing grouphead
Place grounds into grouphead

Spill the grounds

Play in grounds

Spill more coffee

Clap grounds off of hands onto the floor
Clap the grounds off your hands and onto the floor

Tamp the grounds down by banging the very heavy grouphead on formica counters, causing numerous dings
Knock down grounds into grouphead on the countertops

Add powdered sugar to top of macchiato
Add powdered sugar to top of macchiato

Add more, and more, and more
Add more sugar.....and more, and more

Thoroughly lick top of powdered sugar shaker

And….Ta da!!!

The perfect cup

  1. Oh my goodness, that made me giggle with delight.

  3. Wonderful!!!!!

  4. You have the most brilliant and amazing child and I would like to trade you 5 of mine for her. Please. One of them does yardwork. Another of them will charm your socks off. A third has turned into a decent homemade cake baker, including an awesome coconut icing that I lust after (and I do not generally lust after food). I can’t think of good things about the other two right now, but they do have good qualities. I can provide references.

  5. haha

  6. That’s a very cute reminder that our children are always watching us. She can make me a coffee anytime!

    That’s what I’ve been doing wrong, not licking the powdered sugar shaker! She is adorable. Amazing what they learn. Mel pointed at the beer at the grocery and said “Daddy poppy” (soda pop) They are always watching.

  8. She’s a genius! And a cute one, too!

  9. That’s adorable! I wish I wasn’t such a control freak. I probably would have had to break out a papertowel by the time the grounds were being ground into the counter.

  10. You’re lucky to have such a good helper! I bet you enjoyed watching as much as he enjoyed doing!

  11. So funny.
