I spy with my eye...

Etta seems to be seeing food in her books lately.

The trees in her Bear in Sunshine book got called edamame.
Well, to be more accurate they were called "ma-ma-ma-ma-may".
She got this from Addie who sometimes calls it "edda-ma-ma--ma-ma-may".
I see the resemblance to edamame in the pod!
Speaking of edamame, I have made a life-altering discovery:
Costco has huge bags of edmame in-the-shell in the freezer section.
But these things are brilliant because inside the big bag are like 10 smaller bags.
You take a small bag and pop it in the micro for 3 minutes and you have perfectly cooked edamame.
I still buy the frozen out-of-pod ones to cook with mac & cheese sometimes.
But these ones are so easy and tasty when plain plus even Etta thinks it is fun to pop them out of their shell
In her Blue Hat, Green Hat she saw a banana ("na-na")
Again, I can totally see how the lower half of the hat looks like a banana.



It is pretty cool to me the way she is connecting things in her brain.
She is starting to connect a couple words together too.
The other day she was wanting to go outside to play so she grabbed a pair of my shoes,
dropped them at my feet and said "ma-ma's shews".
