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

Clap grounds off of hands onto the floor

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

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

  2. 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.

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

    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.

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

    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.
