Quite a cook!




Look at our busy little girl! She has discovered pretend cooking.
She can cook the same little egg for a L O N G time, and she always finds someone who will eat her creations.

Anya has a lot of playfood, most of it is made out of wood, and the fruit and veggies were very special presents from our Swiss family. Nina really enjoys them now. I know she will LOVE her Christmas presents *hint hint*.
In the video, you can hear Elia giggling in the background - him and Midnight were playing. Also, at the end of the video, Nina is calling for Nico - he was helping her earlier, and she wanted him to help her again.

Also, to update you on her broken leg situation.... she is doing very well with her cast. It took her a while to snap out her "carry me everywhere" mode from the first few days after the fracture happened, and now she scoots and crawls pretty much everywhere she wants to go. She can climb up in her chair, and go up and down the stairs. Of course she is still being carried a lot, but my back gets at least a little bit of a break.


I think this is actually a great time for our bonding, as tiring it often gets. We do a lot more snuggling, and she is so dependent on us, and hopefully learning that we ARE there for her, and she can count on us. Not that I think she particularly struggled with this, but it's great reinforcement.
God always manages to bring the good out of a situation, doesn't he...
He is good, all the time.
Have a great weekend, friends!

I love her cute tiny pigtails. Emma and I poured over her video and pictures. She's such a doll. The toe nails are definitely very stylish. Have a super weekend with your kiddos.

Love,
