"You said the bottom!"

We usually save baking for the weekends, but last night I allowed Ty and Wil to make brownies on a school night.  The deal was they would do all of the mixing and measuring while I finished the laundry. I probably should have just stayed downstairs because I couldn't pull myself away from the top of the stairs as I listened to them navigate the directions and the cupboards by themselves. When they were just about finished I gave Wil what he needed to grease the bottom of the pan. While I had my back turned he began greasing the bottom -- the outside bottom, not the inside!  My eyes flew open wide when I saw what he had done and then I swung my arms around him as he exclaimed, "you said the bottom!"

There is nothing better than seeing the world through our children's eyes.
