the incredible, edible egg

Dinner time at our house is very rarely an occasion where all four of us are sitting down to eat together at the same time.  Jake's work schedule varies and doesn't allow him to be at home every night and when we are all at home at night Cayden, who has become the world's pickiest eater, doesn't want to eat supper or Harper has just woken up from her evening nap, etc. and we end up eating at different times.  Now, I mentioned that Cayden has become a picky eater but in addition to his being picky, he also decides lots of nights that he's just not hungry and doesn't want to eat anything at all.  Lately, however, he has made a new decision...that eggs are the coolest thing ever.  He wants to buy them at the store every time we go, play with them in his room and cook them every day.  We do draw the line at taking real eggs into his room to play but he does have pretend ones for in his own little kitchen so all we have to do now, is to cook eggs every night.  Thankfully, Daddy has found a way for Cayden to be able to participate in the cooking process using the microwave.  All we need is a tupperware bowl, an egg and 40 seconds in the microwave and Cayden's breakfast, lunch and/or supper is ready any time of the day or night and he actually eats them.  Score one for Daddy!
