Apple Soup for Lunch

I've been under the weather (again!) for the past couple of weeks, and by yesterday afternoon I was really feeling badly. That is what it took for me to finally give in and decide to visit a very slow doctor's office with two small boys in tow. Come to find out, I've had a raging sinus infection, so I am happy to have antibiotics pumping through my body, as I type. Anyway, when I dropped Camden off at school yesterday, he seemed particularly concerned about me - - I'm not sure why exactly, because we've been going about our business as usual all along. He asked if he could make me lunch when he got home, and I told him of course he could!

Before school, he spent quite a bit of time working on his recipe for lunch:

That says, "Camden's famous apple soup" (so says Camden), followed by a scary-looking serrated knife, an apple, apple slices, a chicken drumstick, pieces of chicken, a measuring cup and some unknown liquid, and then some bread.

I supervised the slicing, but he was pretty insistent that I let him do all of this himself. When I was certain he wasn't going to cut one of his fingers off, I went to my room and got in bed, per Camden's orders.

He promptly delivered to me a bowl of apple slices and chicken, floating in water, accompanied by a very stale heel of bread. He was so proud of himself, and I ate all of my lunch (with a little help from Riley, when Camden wasn't looking!). To top it all off, my sweet boy told me, "Mummy, you take care of me when I'm sick, so I can take care of you when you are sick." Gosh, I love that little boy.
