Kitchen Creations

Here is Linus helping me mix the food coloring into the balls of homemade play dough for Lucero's 2nd birthday.  Some red coloring got on his hand and it bothered him that I couldn't wash it off. I showed him the blue on my hands and said not to worry, it will come off in a few days.

He is starting to get into pretending to cook.  He pulled out some pots and pans and I gave him a spoon, dried beans, and dried pasta to play with on his table.  I think a toy kitchen is in order for his birthday.

Today we baked cookies together and he insisted on putting sprinkles on some of them.  I've never seen oatmeal raisin cookies with sprinkles before; how cool!  Then we went on a long walk and had a blast watching some squirrels at someone's squirrel feeder. We got to see one munch on a peanut and Linus thought that was fun.  He kept saying, "Cute, cute," which I'm sure he picked up from me.  I'm always saying things are cute.  During lunch I cracked him up with my impression of the squirrel eating.
