In the way back home, we talked a lot about what happened, and he said (his own words that melted me) that he thought it would be good for him to look forward - he took this expression from that cartoon movie, "Meet the Robinson". I agreed with him, and the talk kept flowing well. We went to the grocery and bought some thngs for a baking time together - something he always love doing with me, and is definitely healing good for his little soul!
I decided trying a recipe that the cute and very awesome lord Brian posted some time ago: banana-praline muffins! I just used a single cake pan, since I don't have muffins cups.
Lucas wanted to make it "all by himself":
He mixed the flours...
Mixed the bananas and brown sugar...
Helped me putting the mix in the cake pan - this is a very old pan, by the way, it was my grandma's, and I love it!
He was all the time wanting to see if it was ready, sniffing the delicious smell that was coming from the oven. The cake ended up absolutely awesome...
.. And I had to pose for him taking a bite while drinking super-hot chocolate (so cold here...), yummy! Lucas ate two slices, and offered everybody some. The recipe's approved, and the little witch's afternoon, a bit sweeter and away from all the stress he's been under.

I don't know what you're smiling for....I'm not there eating it with you! Poo!
Awwww... :o)
I love that pan, I have never seen a bundt cake pan with handles before!
The pics are lovely and the recipe sounds delish!
I hope Lucas gets better, and is able to process his feelings. Please do not blame yourself, you are a wonderful mother who does all she can to make sure Lucas is happy, and I am sure he knows that. Hang in there, it will get better!
Love and hugs!
Thank you, Bella! I know I'm a good mom (at least I try to), but you know, in times like these I get shaken... But it's part of the process itself, I guess... Kisses! :o)
Baking a cake with my mother would certainly lift my spirits. Eating it even more so. There are very few evil spirits that can stand up to warm home made cake. Yum!
Yum! The cake looks delicious and the recipe sounds so good....I'm going to try it soon.
That looks so good to warm your spirits and tummies at the same time. - Margy
Looks to me like you are an awesome mom. There's nothing better to soothe a child than helping mom bake. Love the pan! Haven't been by in a while, but I'm trying to catch up. Life gets too busy!
Baking with my mom was the best! I still have wonderful memories of that. Lucas will too - it's a great gift to give a child.
