Making A Cake (age 3)

Windy whistles: honey are you sure you're ok looking after dashie?


Bow hothoof: yes of course I am, you just go and have a fun day at the spa with your mum.


Windy whistles: *sighs* ok I'm going I'll see you later.


Bow hothoof: have fun, love you!


Windy whistles: love you too!


Windy was having a spa day with her mother, so bow was looking after rainbow for the day. The toddler was currently taking a nap, but it was now time to go and wake her up. Bow went into rainbows room and gently shook her by the shoulder, and stroked her cheek in order to wake her.


Bow hothoof: *sweetly whispers* dashie? It's time to get up now.


Rainbow: *rubs her eyes and murmurs cutely* daddy?


Bow hothoof: yeah baby it's me, did you have a nice sleep?


Rainbow: *nods tiredly* where's mummy?


Bow hothoof: she's gone out for the day with grandma remember?


Rainbow: *starts to tear up* she no said goodbye.


Bow hothoof: *picks rainbow up and rubs her back* awww sweetheart don't get upset, why don't we go and have lunch and then we can do something fun. How does that sound?


Rainbow: *perking up a little* ok daddy!


They went downstairs and bow got rainbows lunch ready, which consisted of: a chocolate spread sandwich, some crisps, some apple slices and a yoghurt. He made his own lunch which was one of those healthier microwaveable ready meals.


Bow hothoof: so dashie, what are we going to do after lunch?


Rainbow: *excitedly* make cake!


Bow hothoof: hmm making a cake? I think that's a fantastic idea! What kind of cake should it be?


Rainbow: *shouts* CHOCOLATE!


Bow hothoof: *chuckles* chocolate cake it is then.


After they finished having lunch bow got all the ingredients ready to make a chocolate cake, they already had everything in the house so at least he didn't have to go out and buy anything. He weighed up all the ingredients and even let rainbow do the mixing, though she got more of it on herself than in the bowl. As he was getting the cake tins ready rainbow was sat on the counter eating the mixture with a spoon, bow knew he needed to stop her but he had to get a picture first. He takes the picture and then goes to get the bowl away from rainbow.


Rainbow: *reaches for bowl and whines* daddy!


Bow hothoof: dashie, if you eat all the mixture now there won't be any cake.


Rainbow: *gasps and quickly puts the spoon back into the bowl* ok daddy, you can have it.


Bow hothoof: *chuckles and kisses her forehead* thank you baby. *puts the cake into the oven*


Rainbow: how long until it's ready daddy?


Bow hothoof: won't be for at least 30 minutes baby.


Rainbow: *disappointed* aww that's ages!


Bow hothoof: *chuckles* it's not that long dashie, and anyway I think you need a bath first.


Rainbow: ok daddy!


He take her upstairs and gives her a bath and puts her into some pyjamas, he then takes her back downstairs and by this point the cake is ready. After the cake has had some icing applied to it, bow and rainbow have their dinner which was spaghetti Bolognese. Finally it was time for cake, so they went and sat on the sofa and watched a film whilst they ate the delicious treat. After they'd finished eating rainbows face was covered in chocolate, so bow used a damp wash cloth to wipe her down. They sat cuddling for a few more moments and rainbow was starting to fall asleep, bow picked her up and started carrying her upstairs to her bedroom when the front door suddenly opened.


Windy whistles: bow? I'm home.


Bow hothoof: *whispers* hey honey, I'm just going to take dashie upstairs to bed she's fallen asleep.


Windy whistles: *whispers* oh ok.


She goes upstairs with bow to help him put their daughter to bed, once they'd both given her a kiss goodnight they headed backs downstairs.


Bow hothoof: so, how was the spa, how's your mum?


Windy whistles: they were both amazing! How's dashie been?


Bow hothoof: yeah good as gold, we made a cake.


Windy whistles: *sees the cake on the counter top* so I can see. Do I get a slice?


Bow hothoof: of course!


He went and fetched her a piece of cake and made them both a cup of tea.  He showed her the picture he had taken of rainbow with the cake mixture around her mouth, which Windy found highly amusing.


Windy whistles: she gets that from you.


Bow hothoof: *looks at her with chocolate on his face* she does not!


Windy whistles: *laughs* anyway, this cake is delicious!


Bow hothoof: *sighs in satisfaction* it sure is.
