Yesterday was Adam's first Thanksgiving. He "helped" throughout the day, from the safety of his highchair - every time the oven was open, he was contained at a safe distance, and then he could roam the house while we were waiting for the cooking to happen. He thought making food was pretty fun - the mixer made cool noise, the smells were good, and he had his own pan and spoon to bang around and "mix" with.
We cooked a HUGE turkey (for the 2 1/2 of us), mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, salad, stuffing, and then orange rolls for dessert.
Adam loves turkey and stuffing, and he gobbled those down (Get it? Gobbled? Turkey?).
Then we tried mashed potatoes. And his facial expressions and flapping hands said it all. "What did you just put in my mouth? EEEWWWW! Get it away! Are you trying to poison me? Never do that again!"
As a special Thanksgiving treat Sliver got to lick the tray when he was done. After which the tray was cleaned and disinfected.
Then we all had to take a walk around the neighborhood to digest and work off a little of the feast.
And for the next week we will be thinking up new ways to eat turkey leftovers. Sandwiches, soup, lasagna, casserole, tacos, and anything else we can think of that can have turkey in it instead of other meats.
Hope you had a good Thanksgiving too!
