Welcome 2007

Happy New Year! We had a quiet evening with a few drinks, some Scrabble and off to bed (for me) at 12:01. Darien is mobile now, he is a bum scooter. It is so cute but I have heart palpitations whenever he does it thinking he is going to fall flat on his face as he propels himself forward.
It blows me away some times with how big Connor is getting. He will say something to us and I will do a doubletake and think, oh no he is growing up way too fast. He tripped on the stairs yesterday and I asked him if he was okay, "Mom (notice no mommy), did you hear me crying? If I don't cry I am okay."
We were watching some kid's show on TV and they were making their own pizza. Connor decided that is what he would like to do for dinner as well. I reminded him that he does not like pizza and he told me that if it was a pizza he made himself he would like it and eat it. Right on, I love having pizza but we never make or order it because Connor won't eat it and it would involve making 2 different dinners. So we bought all the fixings and had a great time making it. As you can see, he was very proud of his culinary creation.
Anxiously anticipating the pizza being done.

We take it out of the oven, let it cool down and put 2 small slices on Connor's plate, "I will not eat this at all, I hate it." We should have learned our lesson during the birthday crab incident but evidently we didn't. What 4 year old wants crab for his birthday dinner? Not ours. It must just be the cooking part he enjoys.
