Smoothies!

Feb 22...

There is not a day that goes by where Cael doesn't get into the cupboard that holds my Magic Bullet and get the cups out and pretend to drink out of them while I am doing dishes. Today I figured instead of making him put them back, we could fill them instead so he really could drink! Derrick got me this Magic Bullet for Christmas of 07 and I was SO excited! The very first time I used it, it broke so I had to get it replaced and I have been afraid to use the new one pretty much ever since. I have made a few blended coffees with it and they are awesome, but I just don't want to break it again. (FYI: Magic Bullets do NOT grate cheese no matter what the little booklet says! You will burn out the motor, you are just going to have to suck it up and grate it by hand!) Anyway, I plopped Cael up on the counter and got out all of our supplies so we could make a smoothie. He held the cup while I poured in some orange juice, but other than that he added all the ingredients himself. Even when I told him that was probably enough raspberries...he could stop any time...he just kept adding them...

Then it was the opposite with the banana pieces, he kept taking them out and eating them haha! But, it was his smoothie so I didn't mind.

We had a lot of fun with our little bonding activity today and watching him drink it out of a regular cup was hilarious. After he was all done I had to take his shirt off...there just was no wiping it clean! It was a fun day but he is growing up so fast..
