Only child

I think Calvin has been enjoying his time as an only child this week. Although he has shed a few tears because he misses Ellie and is counting down the hours till Thanksgiving. 

We made cookies together. He wanted to do fancy cookies so I found a recipe for chipperdoodles, snickerdoodles with chocolate chips, and he helped make the dough (he’s become an expert at breaking eggs) and rolled the cookies and then flattened them on the tray. 

Today we went to special breakfast. He marched up to the counter and asked the barista if their hot chocolate could be made with soy milk or almond milk. They said it could, and he proceeded to order himself a hot chocolate without dairy milk. The barista was slightly taken aback by the litte boy who knew what he wanted.
