Salt milk.

At the moment, in conversation about some thing--an object, a color, an animal--Ada will say, "X is my favorite!"

It has got to the point that one night when I said we were having salmon and broccoli for dinner, she said "broccoli's my favorite!" even though she has eaten broccoli ONCE since she was a baby and had it pureed. (Later that evening when she refused her broccoli, we reminded her and she disavowed ever saying it was her favorite.)

Today, while baking a cake, she took it a bit further:

Me: OK, now we need salt.

Ada: Salt's my favorite!

Me: Is it?

Ada: Yes.

         *pause*

         I like it...

          *pause*

          ...in milk.

         *pause*

         To drink.

Team Vallentine update: 13 May 2015

We're all a bit...tired, so here are some photos of things we've been up to over the last couple of months. 

(Looks like Ada is still winning the photography stakes by a factor of 2. Poor Arthur.)












And voila! No hands!
