Singing and baking
A few weeks ago, H was singing Nathan his first lullaby (with words that H made up), and when he finished, Nathan started singing. We weren’t sure quite what he was singing, but it was definitely singing. And when he stopped, he told H more! So H AND Nathan sang the lullaby.
We were floored! Our boy likes to sing!
He sings a lot now. Not on command and I’m never sure what exactly he’s singing, but he enjoys whatever it is quite a lot. The singing is often accompanied by Nathan’s favorite dance — swaying side to side. We hope to catch it on video someday soon.
In other news, Nathan loves to bake. In fact, he seriously loves the mixer. He loves it so much I have to keep it unplugged (he will often sit on the counter right by me as I’m doing things like heating up his nightly bottle of milk).
Well, the other day we were doing some baking so he was sitting on the counter “helping” me. The mixer was unplugged and we were adding various ingredients to it. I went to plug it in (keeping the boy well back in case you were worried) and BLAM! Sugar and butter went everywhere.
I forgot that the boy had been playing with it, and it was on high speed. Oops. Of course the Boo thought this was highly entertaining. I told him wait until Mommy does that with flour, as she is infamous for doing. It’ll come. Just wait.
Anyway, note to self, check the mixer’s settings before plugging it in!
