A few days before Ava's special day I asked her what she wanted for
her first day of school dinner. I thought for sure it would be pasta
because that is what she always says when you ask her what she wants to
eat. I was wrong. Instead, Ava asked for pancakes. Not too shocking
because that is also one of her favorites.
That night I
got ready to make pancakes. I usually make Mickey Mouse or other fun
shapes, but I wanted to make it even more special. I had seen some
colored pancakes on a few websites and thought I would give it a try.
Ava is always saying, "I love lots of colors", so that is what I gave
her. I made rainbow pancakes. It was really easy, a lot of fun, and a
big hit with Ava. She was so excited when I showed her the plate. She
also got really excited when she saw the bacon on the table...this girl
loves her some bacon. Ava ate at least as many pancakes as me and ate
more bacon than Rich or I. The dinner was a success and a great way to
end a special day for my Ava.
