The Little Chef

I think that we may have a budding chef on our hands!


Peyton and his pal Amelia made yummy cupcakes today at Mrs. Lauren's. I can only imagine the patience he had to practice in order to wait while Amelia had her turn to make the cupcakes too.

He looks quite serious, reading the instructions very carefully.





And then he got to taste his creation!

Breaking News: Important Dates!

So, I never thought the day would come when I could actually say that I have a defense date. All those years of many experiments gone wrong, a few experiments gone right, a million worms sacrificed, data analyzed, tears shed, its finally coming to an end. Sort of. I won't quite be finished in the lab, but I'm defending. Mark your calendars.
Monday, March 29th at 2pm.

For those of you more interested in the graduation ceremony itself, I will receive my hood on Saturday, May 8th.

P-E-Y-T-O-N

Peyton has gotten really good at recognizing letters and saying his ABC's. Each night in the bathtub, we play with foam letters and practice spelling things. This is a conversation that we have nightly:
Me: P-E-Y-T-O-N What's that spell?
Peyton: TOBI!
Me: No, it spells Peyton!
Peyton: No, Tobi!

I guess when we were home at Christmas, he wandered into my sister's room and started reading the letters on a wall hanging in her room - T-O-B-I. At the time, we were really impressed that he recognized and could say all of the letters correctly. We told him that spelled Tobi. So, now he thinks that everything spells Tobi.
Ok, well, I guess we'll keep working on this.
