Passing it On

Today Prae came home so excited because she wanted to bake her teacher Snickerdoodle Cookies for school tomorrow. He happened to make some comment about "getting on his good side" if someone would bring him some tomorrow. I had already made Sour Cream Twists and they were just about ready to put into the oven. I asked Prae if she just wanted to take a few of those, but she said she'd rather not. Well, the afternoon soon disappeared as I whipped up a quick supper, got Si to Tae Kwon Do, ate supper, cleaned up after supper, helped Prae with her piano, went on a walk with Eli, and before I knew it it was well after 8! I could see the disappointment in my daughter's eyes. Again I asked,

"Couldn't you just take a few of those twists?"

No, she really would rather take what he requested. Why not? I asked myself. So quick as we could we whipped up one batch of Snickerdoodles and put the rest of the dough in the fridge for tomorrow. She was absolutely beaming. I thank God that I took just those few extra minutes out of my night to make Praetoria's night. It would have been something my mom would have done for me. (Thanks Mom!!) And one day I can see her in her kitchen, with her daughter doing the exact same thing!
