Our eccentric child

There are so many signs that our little girl is growing up: she wants to do things herself, she's almost completely potty trained (we just don't trust her overnight yet), she's sensitive to others' moods and reactions.... But best of all, she makes up her own games. Jordan isn't a needy child, she just really likes the interactions with others. But once in a while she'll actually entertain herself, and it's always interesting for us to observe. She'll play babies, where she talks to her baby doll AND talks for it. She'll play with her pirates and pirate ship, and has the little figures walk the plank and take naps. But my hands down favorite is when she invents new dishes in her kitchen. And her latest culinary masterpiece is Foot Soup. This is 100% Jordan; she didn't get it from us, or friends, or a library book. And she knows it's funny, so she cooks it often. Here she is in action. There's a pot under that foot, and yes, she even turned the burner on. Enjoy :-)
