This morning I took Leah & Andrew to pick strawberries on a farm. I was really going more for the experience than the strawberries, but, boy, did we get some really delicious strawberries, and I am looking forward to all the things I can make with them!
I told Leah she could eat some if she wanted, and that was all she needed to hear! She must have eaten her weight in strawberries by the time we were done! Andrew really wanted to eat one, but I had to keep taking them out of his hand (you know, the whole lack of teeth thing).
Leah seemed to have so much fun just walking around with her basket. I had to keep pulling out the ugly green ones she'd pick and replace them with good ones, but she didn't notice, and she even got upset when we had to go put her filled basket in the car so we could just walk around more.
A perfectly untainted red barn on the property seemed like a great place for an impromptu mini photo shoot with my boy.
We came home and made strawberry muffins. It was the first time Leah ever really helped me bake anything-- I never quite knew how it would work out. I just put the bowl on the ground, let her pour & stir, and she loved it!! She didn't even want me to help. Of course, she didn't want to wait for the muffins to bake, but once she tasted them, I reminded her she helped make them and she was so proud!!
On another note, look who figured out how to pull himself up on things this past Sunday. (Now if he could only figure out how to get himself down without falling on his head!) This one's already giving us a run for our money!!
