If you're a fan of Nutella read on...
I adapted my own recipe from this blog I came across.
This is what I did:
1/2 c. toasted hazelnuts (because that is all I had)
4 oz semi sweet chocolate chips (melted)
2 T. cocoa powder
a glob of coconut oil
1. Dump it all in the food processor until mixed/whirled/pureed.
2. Sneak taste tests without children present to notice chocolate is involved.
3. Show extreme restraint in not finishing it all before Dr. Daddy gets home.
Easy (except for the last step).

Uncle Wiggily
This is a picture Eirena drew of herself last night:
Uncle Wiggily (at night) with a car
Can you find:
1) his tall silk hat
2) his red, white and blue striped rheumatism crutch
3) his long ears
4) his pink twinkling nose
5) the dark clouds (so you know it is night)
6) the hood of the car
7) the boot of the car

The Antithesis of the Scientist
Dr. Daddy and I have decided that Adisu is the antithesis of a scientist. (Mostly joking, a little serious.) Here is our reasoning: when a new piece of data does not fit into his preconceived categories, rather than adjust his categories, he arbitrarily dismisses the data. I present two examples.
1) A while ago we were at a park and there was a parakeet. Adisu excitedly pointed out the green bird to me. I acknowledge that yes, it was indeed a green bird. To which he responded, "that's silly birds are green". (He has in fact seen other green birds, but I don't know if he has particularly noticed them before.)
2) Yesterday we were walking along the river and he saw a contraption floating on the water that had a roof on it. He asked me what it was. I responded that it was a boat with a roof so the sun doesn't shine directly on people. To which he responded, "boats don't have roofs".
I'm sure there is some psychological explanation for this. I don't think it is that important. We already know that he sees the world in stark white and deepest black and never a shade of grey. I suspect that may have something to do with it. He'll learn. And until then it gives Dr. Daddy and I some private amusement over the complete lack of the scientific method in his life.
