Early December

Erik's first interaction with a tiny baby.  Cousin Stacy and her baby Clara came to visit.  Clara was such a good girl. 

Here is Erik brushing his teeth.  We are trying to get in the habit of washing at the sink also.  His arms aren't quite long enough to touch the water, even with the stool.

Luke and Erik at Ikea breakfast.  We made a hasty decision one Sunday morning to go and get a new futon for the guest room and a dresser for the baby.

I had a day off on Tuesday and we made cookies all day.  Erik helped me roll out the LAST of the scraps.  He just played , but he did get the idea kind of.  There was flour everywhere.  We have a kid cookie decorating party this Saturday.  I'll have more pictures soon from that!

What a good helper.  Maybe he will be a baker.

Mayo had a Christmas Tea reception on Friday.  Luke went to work early and with Erik to snack and I met them at the Reception also and had a cookie.  We took some home.  Erik spotted this one after dinner.  I suppose I had to give it to him. 

We went to the Mall after dinner to drop off Toys for Tots.  So after we picked up Daddy we had to put Jammies on and Erik wanted to read this book before bed.  He sat and listened and then went to beddy.
