Flapjacks with Daddy



The Golden Arches. And pancakes? While many children may associate McDonald's with cheesy burgers and nuggets of chicken crispiness, my boys think about breakfast. My husband has started a new tradition. On hectic mornings or rainy mornings or random mornings, he will splurge on our sons with a flapjack treat. Sometimes he brings the dynamic duo together to tackle a short stack or two. Other times, it's one on one and each child alone basks in the glory of Daddy's limelight and the sweet buttermilk goodness. Whatever the combination, it gives our men-in-the-making a chance to connect with their father in the calm of morning, over the smell of bacon, before busy days burst forth and where a dialogue begins that will hopefully never end.

"Listen, my sons, to a father's instruction; pay attention and gain understanding." - Proverbs 4:1
