It is crazy to see my habits and tendencies in Ignacio. In some ways it lets me know what parts of my personality are just genetic and not some strange coping mechanism developed over time. Notice in this picture the lined up noodles on the table. My mom says when I was little I would line up my lima beans out of my soup. Looks like, along with chin, that got passed on too!
4pm to 6pm is Ignacio's hardest time of the day. He is tired, needy and desires ALL my attention. The problem is it is when I need to make dinner. Solution?...Have Ignacio help!! He loves putting things in the bowl, mixing and watching. Here we are making brownies.
Now when I cook he says, "Ignacio cooking" and proceeds to pull out the pots and pans and pretend to cook too. He lines up all the pots and finds the corresponding cover. It is actually quite helpful to my cupboard organization (or lack there of)! The good thing is he puts them back (most days) all by himself.
