Since I’m working from home and taking care of the Daughter, I also get to make dinner for the family. We have five standard meals that we have during the week, and tonight’s was pad thai. I made some sticky rice to go along with it, and served everything up.

Amy decided that the rice would be a great opportunity to see how our little one would do with something more solid than pureed butternut squash (which is actually really good warmed up). The answer was… she would find a way to get rice stuck to every single piece of clothing she was wearing in addition to any exposed to skin. And because it’s good-old sticky rice, it became afixed to her more or less permanently.
