Pancakes

This whole story starts off with Cason hating eggs. He ate them briefly when he was maybe 18 months old but then he started to flat out refuse them. It became a joke, when we asked him what he wanted to eat, sometimes we'd tease him and tell him we were making eggs. As I was searching Amazon for an egg ring for Kelly, I saw some silicone star and heart egg/pancake molds. They got good reviews so I decided to get them to try to entice Cason to eat a star shaped egg. It totally worked. He now loves star eggs with cheese on them.

So last time Kelly made his protein pancakes, he made several stars and Cason loved those too. Last week, I was thumbing through a magazine and some some a flower shaped pancake mold. So I decided to check online and see if there were more fun shapes out there. I found that Williams-Sonoma had some really fun shapes that also got great reviews. We decided to head there yesterday and get some for Cason.

When we got there, they had two sets. One had a sun, moon, and Saturn. The other had a pig, cow, and chicken. We let Cason choose and he choose the farm animals. He was very excited to make up pancakes with Daddy after his nap.



The only thing I don't like about the Williams-Sonoma ones is that they are huge. I wish they were about half this size.



We have made up quite a few different varieties over the months: apple cinnamon, raisin, pumpkin, chocolate chip (with barley malted chocolate chips), blueberry, and banana chocolate chip. We usually let Cason pick which variety he would like. This time he chose blueberry.





The saleslady also talked us into this Pancake Pen. It surprisingly works awesome! It lets you fill the molds with no mess and you can also free form pancakes. Kelly tried to spell out Cason's name but he was running out of batter so they didn't turn out well.



Cason was so excited to try a pig pancake. We let him eat one as soon as they cooled.



And another for breakfast this morning.
