Good day and Happy Monday~

Recently my nearly 2 year old lo is very sticking to mummy, during the weekend, wherever I go, she must follow my side. Keep saying "mummy, mummy, mummy~" Even when I sneaked away during her nap in the afternoon, she woke up half way and found that I was not beside her, she cried badly. During that time I was just started to squeeze out the egg white batter for Yogurt Melts~ @@ As I couldn't stop at that time, I just could only continue squeezing quickly till all finished and let it bake for 1 hour. We continued napping but this time I could hardly sneak away as my lo wasn't let go my (.)(.) and I had no choice laid beside her till she woke up after 2 hours. I went down kitchen and checked the Yogurt Melts....yes!! all are perfectly baked dried and crunchy melt in the mouth!!! ^.^
