Yesterday M baked her first cake and stayed home by herself for the first time.
It was a lemon poundcake from a mix, but she did everything herself, even melting the butter. E was her assistant, and I was allowed in the kitchen only to get the rest of the batter into the pan and to take it out of the oven--though she tested it to see if it was done. It was delicious. And she even put all the dishes in the sink and sponged the table.
She has actually stayed home by herself before, but only when she was sick and I needed to go get E from school and she spent the whole time talking to me on the cell phone. This time she was on the phone too, but she was talking to L in Red State, and she stayed by herself for 20 minutes while E and I went to get Grammy. Definitely the beginning of something new.
