Getting our craft on

Last week, with the nice weather we had a craft day outside. Carson was going to paint and I knew Caitlin would want in on the action. I also knew that I didn't want paint all over her clothes {or in her mouth} so I decided to let her "paint" with pudding.



While Carson painted a bird house; the pudding only kept Caitlin entertained for about a minute in her "designated spot" before she was painting anything she touched!




I still have yet to try and get the pudding off of our patio furniture-oops!

Kitchen-aid

Whenever I cook, Carson has a stool that we pull up so that he can watch and help. The other morning when I didn't have to be gone before we woke up I was making breakfast and when I was almost done he got off the stool and grabbed a lid for the pots. I tried to take it from him and put it away but he insisted on taking it with him to his highchair, so I let him.

He didn't want his food to get cold so he alternated the lid using it to keep the food he wasn't eating warm-genius!

He not only like to be in the real kitchen but pretend with his "outdoor" kitchen as well. He brings bark and rock form all over the yard and cooks them. He also puts garbage, his snacks, dirt, etc., in the fridge and microwave. It is pretty funny because he will get upset if you try to take stuff away from his "hiding places"

On the bright side, it looks like he is self-training to be the dishwasher. That's my boy.
