Another First

Sami and Janie have had ice cream lots of times. But I have never given it to them in cones because I didn't want the mess. (I know, I am a party pooper mom. But sometimes I feel like I go from one mess to the other so creating scenarios for messes has never been a priority.)

But Sami's favorite shirt is neon green with a pink ice cream cone on it. She calls it "ice cream shop shirt" (thanks Katie!). It got it's name from a Baby Einstein movie with an ice cream shop in it. And then there is a favorite Dora movie where everyone gets ice cream cones on Boot's "special day". And the plastic ice cream cones in our play food are the most played with.

So it was time. 

And they loved it.

And the mess wasn't bad at all. Of course I had them strapped in their chairs with bibs. But they didn't seem to mind at all.
