My four-year-old, Aja, was “helping me” make bulkas (traditional South African Cinnamon Buns) the other day, and said, “mommy record me.” So I whipped out my iPhone, and she proceeded to describe how to make bulkas—totally impromptu and with no coaching whatsoever by me. (If it was planned I would’ve cleaned up the messy kitchen!)
Introducing AjaBakes (50 second clip)
I wish it would flow out of me so easily!
Please don’t report me for bad parenting when you see the outtakes! I was trying to distract her and make light of it—never dreaming it would happen again. For the third and final take (above), she was on her sturdy, pink, princess step. (The collapsible Bed Bath & Beyond step stool has been banished from the kitchen forever!)
The Outtakes
Take One (12 seconds)
The step stool collapsed, and she went flying!
Take Two (36 seconds)
Almost made it to the end and then bam… poor kid went down, again!
