Lucy woke up from her nap today asking for popcorn.

Since she was a first born, she’s always been quite scared of loud noises such as the vacuum, electric beaters and hair dryer. It’s only been in the past two months or so that we can even use said objects — which Lucy calls “no noise” — while she’s awake or in the house.

We make our popcorn with an authentic air popping machine which makes its own level of racket. Lucy was understandably terrified of it when we first turned it on, but once the popcorn started flying out, she was so excited. Now she sits in our arms, leaning over the clear hard plastic cover to watch the kernels circle around in the hot air before popping.

So today, on our first Family Day, we had to do what has become a weekend tradition. Here, Lucy explains how it’s made:
