Elijah the little chef :)

I am still waiting for this baby to make an appearance, so am taking care of things and getting everything ready. The house is straightened up, there's food in the refrigerator, even though I'd like to make some things yet today. But I've got to tell you about this little budding chef I have in my house!

Elijah enjoys cooking occasionally and this morning was wanting to make something for me. So when I asked what he wanted to do, it didn't sound very appealing. But- being the mom who never wants to squelch the enthusiasm of my child, I said OK. And boy, was I glad I did! We cut up an avocado into a bowl, put the juice from my salsa I made last night over the top since it was lime juice and that was what he wanted to put on top, we sprinkled some garlic powder on top of that, put a few slices into a tortilla and wrapped it up and ate it! Mm, mm, mm!! Boy oh boy was it delish!  Yummy for my tummy! So he tells me that the neighbors had this one time when he was over there playing with their son and that's where he learned it. They always feed him, it seems. They are good neighbors. And Hispanic at that, so I've gotten a few wonderful recipes from her! They have helped me start my car when I left the lights on and the battery died, lol! The husband has come over here and helped me with my computer, and I can't even remember what else!

 And now, Elijah is telling me to let everyone know that he is making paper guns to sell. He is quite the little entrepreneur too! He made a few of these guns by watching some youtube videos and has now sold some to the neighborhood kids. Which I happen to find funny, but hey- it works! He has sold a few things he has made before.

So anyway- here I am, just waiting, waiting, waiting! What can I do to speed things up? Maybe a long walk? Oh yeah, the midwife said I need to be eating every 2-3 hours and drinking plenty of water. And now it's ben 3 hours since I ate- oops. Guess I need to go eat.

Later, my amigas!
