Races

Egg and Spoon Race

Ever since watching Lola attempt an egg and spoon race, LP has spent days trying to master the skill. One morning she raided the utensil drawer trying to find the perfect spoon. I managed to stop her before she climbed the fridge shelves to get to the eggs and luckily her play egg was an acceptable substitute. After about half an hour of drop after drop, she disappeared for a couple of minutes then came back with the scotch tape. She taped her egg to the spoon, then went in search of daddy to show him that she could do it.

Ingenious! You would always win an egg race with just a little scotch tape!

This wonderful skill will always make your life better and maybe someday you will use it to help make life a little better for everyone.

I'm proud of you, you didn't give up until you found a way.

Erica, she looks SO much older here! I can't believe it. Like an elementary kid. Maybe it's the jeans and the slipper socks. Too cute.
