Happy Birthday, Maxon!

"I'm four today. Just like you." -Maxon

When we held up the print out with photos of Maxon as a baby up to age three, Janie gasped and said, "Awww, he's so cute!" Next to pictures of Maxon eating an early, whole food meal as a baby, cutting vegetables, picking strawberries, stirring blueberries into the flour mixture for muffins, and more.

"Awwww! He's so cute!" -Janie 

Maxon's mom reads Rosie Revere Engineer.  If only they could climb inside the illustration.

Walking around the candle and blowing out the flame.

Next Up: SMOOTHIES featuring Dragonfruit

Jordan and I had planned to make smoothies with the children on Friday, but when Maxon decided he wanted smoothies for his birthday snack, we switched around experiences and made smoothies today.

"This is the best smoothie in the world!"-Sylvie

Why do you love this recipe, Maxon?   "Because it has wild blueberries. It has lots of yummy stuff, but I love wild blueberries." -Maxon

Sylvie: I like dragon fruit. It looks like... Have you ever seen purple potatoes?!
Lucia: I had dragon fruit.
Janie: I'm going to taste it.  Is that dragon fruit?
(After Janie tastes the dragon fruit) Janie: Dragon fruit doesn't taste that spicy.

"We want to make our own recipe." -Maxon

​"Maybe we can done at a time smoothie." -Janie
