we like the food network. especially during the summer when nothing else was on, we would either watch something on the food network or discovery channel, but i digress.

hannah has discovered that she really likes watching 30 Minute Meals with Rachel Ray. she likes it so much, that she is able to quote the whole opening segment.

just the other day she pushed her little play kitchen away from the wall it sits by, got behind it, and began acting out her own cooking show. she collected all the foods she needed and even brought in fresh “herbs” (also known as grass and leaves) from outside, and started to cook. dana captured it on our camera.

Hannah’s Cooking Show

she has also helped me make pancakes on saturday, pizza with ms. britty, cakes with mommy, and other fun stuff with grammie. she’s becoming quite proficient. one day she might have her own show!

hannah loves to color and draw. she loves crayons, markers, paint, etc. she also has found some colored mechanical pencils that dana had somewhere. the only problem she had was that when she pressed too hard (easy to do for a three-year-old) she broke the lead.

on saturday she found her pencils and wanted to color. unfortunately, she discovered that the leads were all used up on 3 of the 5 pencils. she promptly comes to me and tells me that he pencils need new batteries! i guess for her new batteries fix everything.
