Wake up and smell the coffee

Sunday, December 23rd, 2007

Woken up this morning by Puggle proclaiming “Dada, come and make me a coffee”. This is not particularly unusual.”I’ve got everything set up”Visions of a kitchen knee-deep in brown caffeinated sludge.Getting into the kitchen I find the chocolate shaker and star template laid out neatly next to the measuring scoop, already primed with the first measure of coffee, with only minimal spillage. Next to this is a cup. On the machine is a jug with milk in it already to be frothed.”I didn’t plug it in because I couldn’t reach” (Well, I’m thankful for that! Electricity, water and steam is a hazardous combination at the best of times!)Needless to say I frothed his milk and made his coffee for him. He even said he didn’t want actual coffee in it (usually I remove the group handle and give him hot water and expect he thinks he’s getting actual caffeine :) Later on in the day he juiced an orange all by himself. I’m hoping for freshly squeezed OJ tomorrow :) [Edit - Yes, got a freshly squeezed OJ the next day. He used a plastic kiwi fruit knife to halve the oranges. Only got about half the juice out of each orange though as they're still a bit big for him to handle properly]
