Aunt D truly is the best

Sunday morning we had a make up swim class to go to at 10:30 am, not really too bad, especially when someone wakes up at 7am on Saturdays and Sundays ONLY!

I've never understood how kids do that, they manage to NOT want to get up during the week but some how know when it's the weekend and THEN chose to wake up at the crack of dawn?

So around 7am Baby C woke up asking for cornmeal porridge yikes!!!... Cornmeal porridge is something that Baby C usually makes with my mother when she's here, and she eats it like it's the best thing on earth.

I can probably count on one hand the amount of times I've tried to make it as it's one of those dishes that you have to stand there and stir and stir and stir for like hours!!! Well maybe not hours but it sure feels like a really, really long time!!!

I really didn't know what to say to Baby C, I didn't want to flat out tell her no, but I didn't have time to cook it before she swam and i didn't much feel like cooking it in the first place. For cornmeal porridge I have to be mentally prepared, like, "night before" mentally prepared.

Luckily she was happy with a bagel thin to tide her over and then after swim class I called my Aunt D, my second mother, my mothers sister and asked if there was any porridge on the stove.

Like the bestest Aunt D in the world that she is, she can't deny a pseudo grandchild a hot cup of cornmeal porridge either, and even though there wasn't any on the stove, she said she'd have some ready and waiting by the time we got there.

We love our Aunt D, that's for sure, we had full bellies all the way home and Baby C even fell asleep on the way home after trying to convince me that "she wasn't tired and didn't want to take a nap when we got home!"

Little did she know!
