Cooking with William

William loves, loves to cook.  I know lots of kids do, but he may be a bit extreme.  Every day he asks me if I’m going to cook dinner and can he help.  If I answer in the affirmative, he willingly drops everything he’s doing, races into the kitchen, gets on his apron, and pulls up the stool.  Cooking shows are one of his favorite things to watch.  We sometimes watch them together after he wakes up from his nap, before I start dinner.   We watch them more often since I’ve been pregnant.  He has been known to sit there watching them for at least an hour.  He has even picked up some of the terminology and mannerisms of the hosts.  The other day he told me, “this is a beautiful dinner mommy”.   Rachel Ray always tries her cooking and goes, “m, m, m”.  At dinner, when he tries a bite, he will often go, “m, m, m”.  That can get a bit annoying.

Myrtle Beach

This year we were blessed to once again go to the Berry’s condo in Myrtle Beach.  We met Kerry and Denise with their two girls there and had a wonderful time together.  William loved the ocean and the sand and he loved playing with his cousin Stephanie.  It was fun seeing them interact with each other.

Miniaturing Golf

William went miniature golfing for the first time while we were at Myrtle Beach.  The three of us went to Calabash and ate at Dock Side and then golfed.  The fun thing about this golf course is Russ remembered golfing here when he was a teenager.  He and his brother Randy packed pimento cheese sandwiches and paid to golf here all day.  William seemed to enjoy his first experience and we actually got through the entire course.  Mom was the winner by the way, just in case anyone was wondering.
