this child is to good to me

since i was a bit..iritated today..to put it mildly..mini-santiago kept asking me all the time if i m allright..he suspekted that something was wrong since i didnt stop to ask about the teachers reaction on the letter and after he had to asure that she didnt said anything..and no dad she didnt read him directly..and no she didnt told me to tell you anything for about the 109264389244609 time the kiddo was more then sure i m sick or about to jump out of the window or both...

and since mini-desantiago is really a blessing he said: i ll cook you something good and you will feel better!

cooking is a really big thing in my family since we all are food lovers..and since i bought this childrens cook book for mini-santiago last vacations he loves cooking too..that book is really good and easy and mini (age 7) can actually cook the whole stuff almost alone..i just help him with the oven...

so he cooked for me wonderfull pasta with tomatos, basil, cheese and meat balls

and a dessert called tangerine tiramesu...

how could anyone not love a child like that?? ok..the meat balls we bought already done..and the pasta was slightly not that what i call al dente..but who cares..my 7 year old boy cooks for me..:-)

so here are some pics of the food...as well a mini-santiago asleep after cooking for me in his bed with his stuffed animals and his new lihgts over the head board..which i hate but he loves them ugly thingies...

Aw! What a great dinner! And his lights are brilliant, I'm with him on that. Little sleepy sweetheart.

Danielle said...

yes! isnt that great? and it actually is totally edible and tastes good! the dinner..not the lights...i hate them..but in the shop he was so exited about them and looked at me with his big puppy eyes i just couldnt say anything mean about them..the lights..not the eyes..and so i ended up buying them...:-)

isnt he cute? okay..you cant see much of him but he really is cute i swear..he is such a hurricane by day..he speaks and asks and jumps and sings and dances all day long..but then when i check his room before i go to bed..he is always so small in that big bed..with all the stuffed animals and pillows and blankets and stuff...gosh..i sound like a wimpy doushe..dosche? dausche?..anyway..you know what i mean..:-)

Maybe the lights look aful in real life, but in the half light of the pictures, and with the sleeping boy, they look magical. So sweet.

Ms. Moon said...

You do realize that most adult Americans could not throw a dinner like that together even if the meatballs were bought, right?
What an angel boy. And I love his lights. Does he live with you all the time?
Give him a kiss for me, please.

Ms. Moon said...

I see my question was answered in last post's comments. So please pardon me. But still kiss him for me, okay?
And you know that May is another of my daughters, right?
Check out her blog. She puts me to shame.

Amazing kid! That's just awesome!

Danielle said...

@ craig

thank you! i m very proud of him:-) today he wants to cook again with that kids cook book i ll keep you posted:-)

Petit fleur said...

I am actually teary... What a sweet and sensitive munchkin. You are obviously very very adored and loved by him, and there's nothing better than a child's love. It's unconditional, like animals.

To add to what Ms Moon said, yes, there are not many adults here who could cook like that, or would. Also, not many men who would take in a little otter the way you have. I think you're both marvelous.
Peace and meatballs,
pf
