EGGS-STRAVAGANZA

SATURDAY, APRIL 25, 2009 A few days ago when Niki had the flue, I was taking care of Alexa and Gavin so she (Niki) could get some sleep. I was making scrambled eggs to feed the kids. Two and a half year old Alexa was at the island counter on a chair next to me and when she saw me crack open the first egg she asked if she could do it. I told her yes and she carefully cracked open one egg and handed it to me to finish opening and drop its contents into a bowl. She did this three or four times, each time as perfectly as I would have done it. I had some cheese to mix into the eggs but Alexa ate most of it before it made it to the frying pan.
