Today was a big day in our kitchen. Dylan distinguished himself by being legitimately helpful while cooking dinner. Without any assistance from me, he peeled the cucumbers for gazpacho, and squeezed lemons for lemonade.
Lyra, who has turned out to be a terrific eater, gave what I'm pretty sure was the sign for "more". She was fussing on the floor while I was preparing dinner, so I asked her if she wanted to taste the pesto I was making. I dipped some bread in the pesto and handed it to her. She had a little taste on her tongue, wasn't sure for a moment, then decided she was on board. She ate up the whole piece of bread, then tapped her fingers together. I said, "do you want more?" and she looked at me expectantly. I gave her another, and then some of the cheese I was grating, and we went through the "more" sign several more times.
We're way behind on pictures, so here are a couple as teasers:

Before you know it, Dylan will take over the kitchen and let his parents lounge and relax. It would appear Lyra will be one of his most enthusiastic food tasters.
