When we were at the cooking supply store, we had asked Namine to pick out an apron and hat for herself. There were two choices: pink and blue. The pink had pictures of cupcakes and hearts. The blue had pictures of tools and a smiley face. I fully expected her to pick the pink — it is, after all, her self-proclaimed favorite color (most days, anyway). But she picked the blue. When we asked her why she wanted the blue, and not the pink, she responded, “Blue can be a girl’s color too.”
Sometimes, when we make food — be it an actual meal or dessert — we have Namine sit on the counter or at the table. But sometimes it’s just easier for her to sit on the floor. With such a large mixing bowl, sitting on the floor did not require her to reach up and over.
