Making Brownies

Brownies. Always very yummy. And now that Caitlyn has discovered the beauty of helping Mommy cook (with the help of her stool to reach the counter) we are having fun times in the kitchen. This evening we decided to make some cookie brownies. Nothing like fresh brownies and then freezing them for later eating. :) Well, being the choco-holic like Daddy, Caitlyn ended up trying to eat more of it before we could get it into the oven. It was so much fun to do this with her. I think Santa may be bringing a taller step stool more kid friendly utensils for more fun time in the kitchen. If you get any of our Christmas cookies this year and they have a little more kid taste/look, you'll know why. :)

Another thing Caitlyn has been doing is dressing herself. Tutus are a staple to everyday wear now. But before Daddy left, he used to find it funny to put socks on her hands to listen to her whine. Mommy found it as annoying as Caitlyn, as Daddy laughed and tried to hide so I couldn't yell at him. Well, now Caitlyn loves to put socks on her hands. I convinced her to take them off to eat some snacks, and now the ones that were on her feet are now placed on her hands. Why she insists that this is a good thing, I have yet to know. One more way I know she thinks like her Daddy. I'm seeing more of Mike in her everyday. I'm glad he'll be home in 90 days and then he can deal with his Mini-Me female version of himself. LOL. :)
