Mucho Munching of Meringues

This evening Katie & Amber went to the Stake Swimming Gala and I stayed at home with Leah & Jenna (Who is not very well - she has both Laryngitis & Conjunctivitis).
After I had got Jenna off to sleep, Leah & I decided to do some 'cooking'.
I searched the Internet for a recipe and found a recipe I used to make when I was a child - Microwave Meringues.

Leah was a very good mixer - because the mixture gets very stiff.
We had to tinker with the timings because the first batch went flat (undercooked) and the second batch got a bit burnt. We perfected them and then added some pink food coloring to the final batch.

Labeling the Children

We have all probably been taught that we should not 'label' our children, or they may grow into that label. however these stereotypes have already set in with our kids.

Amber is the 'Cold Baby' - the only child to wear a sweatshirt & Jogging bottoms on a sunny day at school sports - but Leah is the 'Hot Baby' who would always be glistening in sweat even when wearing next to nothing.

At lunch the other day Katie and I were discussing that we need to address some other label that Amber & Leah have assumed, Amber Likes to Organise whereas Leah likes to 'mess'. Jenna however is very 'regular'1.
