Olie

Olie is only 2 1/2 but already has the reputation as a funny kid. I watch Olie and his brother Aidan on Mondays while Afton is at work. Last week I decided to let Aidan help make a jello salad. They love to "help" in the kitchen. Aidan was really pleased to get to cut up the bananas saying excitedly that he had never cut up bananas before. I left to get the camera and log in the event and could hear them laughing hysterically in the kitchen. Apparently the banana slice would stick to the knife and while they waited for it to drop into the jello mold, Olie would say in his giggly little voice, "Wait for it...wait for it...wait for it". He was drawing out each phrase with the drama befitting a seasoned actor, each phrase higher in tone until the climax of the banana slice dropping off the knife. Then the hysterical laughing would begin, followed by another cut and the drama would unfold all over. Who knew making jello was so much fun.
