Cooking

Emily helped me cook dinner one night. After I dumped a box of rice a roni into a pot, I gave her the empty box. She took it over to a cabinet that she likes to play in and pretended that she was dumping the box into the mini crock pot in there. Then she pretended to mix it and put the plastic lid on. She repeated this over and over! It was great because she was in the kitchen with me, but was very well entertained.

Greg made cupcakes during the week so he decided to leave one un-frosted for Emily. One night after dinner we let her sit on a stool at the island for a special treat. She only had a few bites of the top, but she did love it! This is a very special treat for her because we hardly ever give her any sugary treats. I can still count, just about on one hand, the number of sugary things shes had. I'm sure that will change over the next year, but we're pleased we've made it this far!
