whitewriter1. What are some of your favorite memories with your child?
I'm changing the question to include "from today"
Well today I got out this cutter toy I bought from amazon for a friend's kid who is 1 mo younger than Wendy - but I got one for her too-
its a knife and some metal cut outs and --- there's a bunny shape, a bear and ... I think the other one is sort of a mushroom shape.
And shockingly it works on carrots, cucumber, sorta cabbage, bread.
-- and the knives also work fine, probably not for cabbage though.
Wendy doesn't have the power to use the tools very well though. I showed her how to use the carrot peeler and she sort of got it (it works very well and doesn't seem too sharp). And she can use the cutters with assistance in -- more assistance with harder items - like carrots and cucumbers but slightly less assistance with the bread.
That was pretty fun. it's a cute way to get kids into making food. Probably more value could be had with an older child who was probably 4-5 but, we can start now at almost 2.
My favourite memory will always be what she smelled like for the first 6 days after birth. That is one heeeedy scent. Never have I smelled it again. And I don't think I will -- until kiddo 2 comes along, and I wonder if she will smell the same. That is one potent scent. It's probably a favourite memory because I literally cannot recreate it again (well...) and it can't really be experienced again. Not without an insane amount of effort. It literally is a one time thing.
