"Rusty you have sharp nails, so don't you step on my brother again!"
-Ashlyn
As Ashlyn gets older she continues to show more interest in helping us in our various activities, especially when it comes to making food. Also, as she gets older, her “help” is turning from “help” with quotes around it to actual productive assistance. For instance, this morning she cracked eggs into a bowl and whisked them up. I only had to pick out a handful of shell fragments too, which is impressive. James just watched and smiled.
As the season begins its transition from Winter to Spring our area is starting to hold community events. The first event of the season was cookie decorating with the kids. Ashlyn had a fun time of it and managed to take down two impressively decorated cookies covered with icing, sprinkles, and M&M’s. There’s nothing like two pounds of sugar to get a three year old in a relaxed mood for the afternoon.
In the world of James, he has migrated to the taller bouncer. We’re not sure if he’s enjoying the experience. I’ll put some of the pictures below, and we’ll examine them over the next week to determine if he likes it.
Our little Picaso still likes to make art, and we’ll keep encouraging it. Here’s one of her latest drawings, unfortunately part it got erased before we could stop her to take the picture, but at least the little smiling baby on the bottom was intact.
