july 8, 2011, Multiply, Baking with Grandson

Baking with my Grandson

Jul 8, '11 1:32 PM for everyone

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.

edit delete reply forgetmenot525 wrote on Jul 9, '11 mitchylr said 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.

delete reply mitchylr wrote on Jul 9, '11 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.

delete reply nemo4sun wrote on Jul 8, '11 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

edit delete reply forgetmenot525 wrote on Jul 8, '11 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....

delete reply nemo4sun wrote on Jul 8, '11 i always take coca cola syrup funny ~ i don't like the soda but think the syrup is tasty :)

delete reply artprevails wrote on Jul 8, '11 How fun, hoping he feels better now. My own grandson is 5, I am hoping when he is as old as yours we can take roadtrips together...

delete reply greenwytch wrote on Jul 8, '11 yup, take the fizz out of the ginger ale.

delete reply nemo4sun wrote on Jul 8, '11 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 :)

delete reply greenwytch wrote on Jul 8, '11 dry toast and tea for brekky.

edit delete reply forgetmenot525 wrote on Jul 8, '11 nemo4sun said ust watch what he eats tomorrow last time he woke up he said.............I don't want any thing to eat tomorrow granny .........

delete reply nemo4sun wrote on Jul 8, '11, edited on Jul 8, '11 forgetmenot525 said Now I'm worrid that it was something I fed him it is a 9 year old boy they eat bugs just saying i wouldn't fret too much about that just watch what he eats tomorrow

delete reply nemo4sun wrote on Jul 8, '11, edited on Jul 8, '11 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

delete reply greenwytch wrote on Jul 8, '11 yup, best to just let him sleep, while he can sleep. poor lad, and poor grandma, up worrying about him.

edit delete reply forgetmenot525 wrote on Jul 8, '11 greenwytch said ginger tea, or soda......peppermint or chamomille tea, though i am sure you know this by now. 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.

edit delete reply forgetmenot525 wrote on Jul 8, '11 greenwytch said bless his heart, i sure hope he will feel better soon. XO 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

delete reply nemo4sun wrote on Jul 8, '11 ahhhh! sending good thoughts your way :)

delete reply greenwytch wrote on Jul 8, '11 bless his heart, i sure hope he will feel better soon. XO

edit delete reply forgetmenot525 wrote on Jul 8, '11 greenwytch said uh oh! 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.

delete reply greenwytch wrote on Jul 8, '11 uh oh!

edit delete reply forgetmenot525 wrote on Jul 8, '11 ohhhhhhhhhh fish and chips sounded such a good idea...........now he's just thrown up every where!!..oh dear, this is a part of child care I had forgotton about :-((

delete reply brendainmad wrote on Jul 8, '11 Yummy! I'm glad your grandson is enjoying his visit. Oh, and I love fish and chips too!

delete reply esoterika713 wrote on Jul 8, '11 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!
