We chose the latter. However not instantly. And it really doesn't matter when you do the activity kids want, just make sure you do it. That same afternoon is better then the next day, simply because the inspiration may pass and become DisInterest ... But try, that's what's important to keep kids learning.
(Bonus: our New York Style cheesecake recipe is listed here at the end of the page.) Mommy was writing insect labels in the kitchen, so when I finished "my job" I was gonna help bake a cake. Mommy clarified that even tho it was Daniel Tigers birthday, it's not baby girls birthday. She wanted a chocolate cake, however mommy didn't have chocolate cake ingredients. But we could make a flan or a Cheesecake. "Ooo mommy I love cheesecake!" Luckily mommy does too.

We pulled out our ingredients, and since I recently got I rid of our microwave (since the last button -One Minute - finally died) we have loads of counter space! Baby mixed in the graham crackers and butter. She poured the ingredients mommy measured into the food processor. She also pushed all the buttons, which was her favorite part.... Until she got to lick the spoon.

When inspiration strikes, enjoy the moment and hopefully get a special treat out of it.

15 graham crackers, crushed
2 tablespoons butter, melted

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9 inch springform pan.
In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter. Press onto bottom of springform pan.
In a large bowl, mix cream cheese with sugar until smooth. Blend in milk, and then mix in the eggs one at a time, mixing just enough to incorporate. Mix in sour cream, vanilla and flour until smooth. Pour filling into prepared crust. Wrap springform pan in foil. Make a water bath for cheesecake.
Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour. Turn the oven off, and let cake cool in oven with the door open for 1. Then cool in fridge in springform pan for additional 3 hours; this prevents cracking. Chill in refrigerator until serving.
((In our pics you can see a can of sweetened condensed milk (which is basically milk and sugar) leftover from our Spanish style Mango smoothie. We added half a can and guesstimated milk and sugar. I assumed it was roughly worth 1/4 cup milk and 1/4 cup sugar, reducing the ingredients accordingly. After running the food processor we tasted the batter for sweetness and texture. We could always add more milk or sugar if needed, which it didn't.))
