Favorite Things

By Kerry -
One of my favorite things to do with the girls is bake cookies. We make homemade chocoloate chip oatmeal, peanut butter, and sugar cookies quite often. Last week we decided to try out a new recipe... lemon zest sugar cookies with egg wash coloring. We had so much fun! The girls loved rolling out the dough and making little "girl" and "heart" shapes with the cookie cutters. But their favorite part was PAINTING COOKIES! Addison couldn't believe it. She asked, "Momma, are we REALLY going to paint cookies?" in somewhat disbelief. It took a bit of explaining for her to understand that she could EAT this "paint" :) Now, every day she asks when we can paint cookies again.

I just know it!!! Emerson was triple-dog-dared by some older 18 month old punk who told her that "everyone was doing it" and she'd be cool if she did it also. That must be why she decided to use the jungle gym at school and do a no-hands-flying-trapeze-triple-gainor that landed her face first into the cedar chunks. This girl gives me fits!!! The fact that she never cried and the preschool teacher didn't see it happen was just icing on the cake and classic Emme... you can't turn away from her for a millisecond! And just for the sake of documentation, this picture was taken a good three hours after it happened. You should have seen her poor face when I picked her up at 4:00!

Addison likes... no, LOVES to look at pictures these days. I guess for my generation it was tons of pictures in albums that were always so much fun. For her generation (I think they're still being called the millennials, but I'm not sure if she's too young to fit into that group), she points at my computer whenever she realizes it's around and asks to see pictures. Her favorite is looking at pictures of other babies. I like to show her pictures from another blog of a family in our area that has just had quintuplets ! She thinks they are the cutest and could look at the pictures forever! Yesterday, Addison snuggled up into my lap and asked to look at babies. I decided to pull up pictures of her from when she was a baby and ask her who all of the people were with her in the pictures. She knew most all of them, mostly because we talk about our family in different pictures quite a bit. Unfortunately, she just refused to believe that the man in a few of the pictures ...
