More fun at the Wisley residence

Aidie has been interested in getting involved in just about everything! She has been quite a little helper when it comes to house chores. She LOVES to help garden and laundry and sweep and EVERYTHING! We have got to get her her own cleaning tools to match mommy's.
She is also getting very interested in everything musical. She loves to dance, play guitar and the keyboard. She even asks for me to sing opera. It is awesome! Can't wait to see how my musical enthusiast turns out :-)
We also had another cooking extravaganza. Blueberry/Cherry Pie. Mmmm... This was a bit messier and complicated than our last endeavor. So everything was a mess after we were done, including Aidie and me!

Here Aidie is dumping in the dry ingredients. She kept wanting to toss them everywhere~ So mommy kept a sharp eye on that process ;-)

Aidie loves eggs. Everything about eggs. She has her own egg cartons full of Easter eggs that she loves more than just about any other toy she owns. Real eggs, in her opinion, are even better!

As you can see Aidie has tasted the progress at this point. I went to put a few things away, only to turn around to find her stuffing a flour/sugar mixture from her tray into her mouth. Apparently she like it because she kept trying to dip her fingers into everything after that.

Here is the filling - berries all ready to go thanks to my little stirring champ.

Getting the topping ready. So much better to mix by hand than with the fork!

She just loved pressing the pie shell into the baking dish. Probably her favorite part.

And of course, trying out the finished progress. She definitely liked this better than the muffins. She has been super attached to Moosie lately. So instead of allowing an all out melt down, as has been the scene around here lately, we just fixed him up with a bib and let him have a snack too!
On other notes: We are TRYING to get Aidie on a better pattern for naps. She has been getting progressively worse at going down for naps on the exercise ball. So now I am putting her in her crib to put herself to sleep. A lot of tears on both sides. Any suggestions? I'm all ears!
