Ada and Arthur: 20 May 2015

Daily Arthur: 20 May 2015

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.

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!

Happy 49th anniversary, Mimi and Pa!

Mimi and Pa woke up and realized they had slept in identical clothes, on their anniversary.

Happy 49 years!

Happy Easter 2015!
