Mystery

Amelia had a very odd brown spot suddenly appear on her foot and a slightly lighter and smaller one at the top of her foot. We learned the day before it showed up that her teachers had painted both her feet black to make footprints for a Father's Day gift. But it was 24 hours later before we noticed the spots and it was just on one foot. After being perplexed and a little worried, we took a picture and sent it off to Aunt Michelle who checked it out and passed her phone to a couple of other doctor friends who all decided it was nothing to worry about. We still aren't sure if it was the paint or not, but it is finally almost gone.

Spooning it Up

Amelia has been working on her utensil skills. Spaghetti and yogurt make both fun and messy practice subjects.


























The spaghetti pictures were in May, and the yogurt in June. Her face is just as messy, but she's keeping the table and her clothes a little cleaner.

Crazy Kitchen Kid

I read somewhere that if kids help you cook, they are more likely to eat what you are making. So we bought ingredients to make homemade pizzas and pigs in a blanket. Ainsley absolutely loved cooking with me, but when it came time to eat...she wanted chicken nuggets. Amelia, however, loved Ainsley's cooking.

Shoes

Amelia LOVES putting on shoes. Her shoes, my shoes, Dustin's shoes or Ainsley's shoes...doesn't really matter who they belong to. And this is her favorite position and location for putting them on.
