Pancake Art

Caleb got a little promotion on Monday night, when for the first time, he actually got to scoop the batter and pour it onto the griddle for our yummy pancake night.  It is quite a leap in responsibility, since he usually handles the pancakes at the fully cooked stage, when they are less tricky.  Caleb is the helper who usually places the pancakes onto the plate with his handy dandy spatula after they are good and ready.  It is a very important job, but since he had perfected that skill, he was ready to move on to a more challenging aspect of the pancake making process.



But who knew he would be so crafty? Or have such a serious face while doing it. 

On his second or third try, we noticed that his little batter globs were forming into some interesting pancakes. 

This was our favorite, Mr. Snail Pancake.  Pretty creative.  And a little sad to eat him.















Not too shabby for a first time scooper.


Caleb is still anxiously anticipating the day that he gets to be the flip-flopper--the all important job, currently held by Mommy. 

With his surprisingly adept skill in the pancake arts, I don't think it will be too long of a wait.
