(1) During Lila's morning nap Ellie and I played with frosting. I am taking Wilton Course II and made a huge batch of frosting last night for my class so we decided to play with it this morning. I did some color flow images for Lila's birthday cake and Ellie decorated three graham crackers. She loved it! It was so fun to do something with her that we both enjoy. Towards the end I caught her sucking the frosting out of her bag--mental picture.
(2) I found Lila playing with the baby dolls and after rummaging through their diaper bag she found a bottle nipple that she tried to shove into the baby's mouth--mental picture. (They figure things out so fast!)
