Today was a rainy, rainy day so we all hopped on the quad in the rain (Sophie fell asleep- on the quad, in the rain) and picked up all the necessities for some homemade chocolate chip cookies. Sophie loved helping put the flour in, crack the eggs (she calls them eyes when they are cracked b/c they look like two eyeballs), and of course put in (and eat) the choc chips. Below are pics. Last night before bed Daddy yelled in from the kitchen “Momma, you want a cookie” and i said no because I already brushed my teeth. Not even two minutes later Sophie hopped off the bed and said “Go get dada”. She then ditched me, walked out into the kitchen and said “Dada, Cook-a”. He broke off a small piece and handed it to her and she pulled her hand away and said “No dada, biiiiiiiig cook-a (meaning give me the whole cookie punk)”. Maybe that is why she was up until 11pm last night :).

Lately you have been wanting to read “The Very Hungry Caterpillar” and when I am reading it to you, you like to pretend you are eating the food in the book and you even share some of your fake food with me. Since you are into the book and we had an empty egg crate, i thought it would be fun to do a family caterpillar craft. You and daddy willingly sat next to me, and basically that is all you did while i created my caterpillar, you drew on yourself, and then daddy colored his egg crate and helped you make a smiley face on your belly. Maybe it was a little early for craft projects? Below are our finish products…

The last few nights before bed we have all cuddled and watched Sleeping Beauty. You are more entertaining than the movie itself. You get very into it and scream “No touch spingle (spindle), “Go, Go, Go”, “Get Princess, Go Castle”. It is so adorable. We even let you stay up until 11pm last night b/c you were so entertaining (which is why you are still sleeping now @ 9am). I dont know what it is about this movie but you absolutely love it. Here is a pic of you cuddling with Dada and watching.
