Baking with my Grandson

He's still here, he was supposed to be here Monday to  Friday, but he came last Saturday and has decided to stay on over the weekend and go back Monday. I spent the day baking, he was supposed to help, and he did to start with, but then the sun came out and off he went. We made bread, cake, oat cookies, ice cream and yogurts...............good days work I think. And now he's off across the road buying a treat, we are going to have shop bought fish and chips for tea, not something I would usually do but I guess there's no harm in a treat once in a while.

    Wow, that is nice that your grandson wanted to come to your place. How old is your grandson?
    I am a grandmother too. I have a three year old grandson.
    We are getting to have him this Saturday. I am looking forward to it especially because we haven't seen him in a long time.
    In my mind there is nothing wrong with spoiling your grandson once and awhile. That is what grandparents are supposed to do.
    Joy!

    A treat from the 'chippie' sounds about right with some cake and home made ice cream or yogurt for desesrt, (pudding)

    indeed................he's asleep now, I thought he would feel better once he had actually been sick. He's in his bed looking very sorry for himself, bowl to one side, water and tissues to the other and a furry covered hot water bottle clutched to his tummy. I just hope its a one off and he sleeps through the night cos its a very long time since I've had children waking me up in the night and I'm afraid to go to bed in case I don't hear him.

    thanks Deb, I hope so too, he just woke up again and was a little bit sick but he just brought back water, I think he will be ok now but think I'll sit here a while longer just to make sure. Now I'm worrid that it was something I fed him.....guess thats kids for you, they get sick quite easy

    ginger tea, or soda......peppermint or chamomille tea, though i am sure you know this by now.

  22. loretta xxxx8 July 2011 at 17:09

    I did think of making mint tea. i have fresh mint from the garden, but if he goes to sleep I don't want to wake him...........just see how it goes now i suppose.

  23. deb thegardener8 July 2011 at 17:10

    yup, best to just let him sleep, while he can sleep. poor lad, and poor grandma, up worrying about him.

    it was always tea and toast when we got sick

    i feel for you

    i always got the "throw up" kid duty

    there is really not much you can do but try to make them comfortable


    hopefully now that he has it up he will feel better

    it is a 9 year old boy

    they eat bugs

    dry toast and tea for brekky.

  28. nemo 4sun8 July 2011 at 17:32

    i second tea and toast for beakfast

    getting a little something in the stomach helps to set things right

    ginger ale helps to ~ just shake it up first to get most of the bubble out

  29. deb thegardener8 July 2011 at 17:33

    yup, take the fizz out of the ginger ale.

    I don't think we get coca cola syrup, but I have to admit.............I think it sounds awful, but I don't like cola anyway.
    He has been asleep now for almost an hour, thinking I could risk going to bed soon....

  37. nemo 4sun8 July 2011 at 18:18

    i don't like the soda - the syrup is different - it does help calm the stomach

    but if he stays asleep that is the best

    :)

    good night

    i hope everything is ok now

    Hope he is better and that it wasn't the fish. Also hope you both sleep well. Kitchen crafts are such fun with kids!

    All those baked items look delicious!! I love the smell of baking bread.

    Sorry to hear he was sick. I'd been thinking that fish & chips sounded like a good idea, haven't had any in a while. Hope he's feeling better today.

    thanks Mitch, yes all is well today, we are only just getting up, we slept late because it was such a disturbed night. He seems better but I think we'll have a pretty easy day today. Guess it was just one of those 'kid' things, no real reason quite bad at the time but short lived.
