Van: "A 'nana?" asking if I meant a banana
Me: "No, a bandana"
Van: "Oh, a bad 'nana"
Not a banana. a bad banana.

Van: "Mama, Please watch two cars. I wanna watch two cars."
(he would like to watch the movie 'Cars 2')

Cooking with Van is hilarious. If I start to bake something he says,
"Please I help?" and goes to get a tall stool.
I let him add the ingredients after I measure, but this makes things more complicated because no matter what I say, he will taste everything I give him. Also there is often some spilling involved, so you have to measure more than you intend to use. But just how much more, that is questionable.
Van especially loves eggs.
"Look mama!" he says, "This one is hatching!"
(with help from some tiny fingers)
I try to get him to mix the dry ingredients with a whisk, but he always tries to use his hands instead.
Here is a picture of him washing dishes. At least he is willing to help with all the stages. However the cleanliness of the dishes is questionable.

Andy watched Van while I went to Costco on Sunday and although I kept telling myself how nice is was to be able to shop without all the hassle, I missed him. Shopping just isn't any fun without him anymore.
