Ice Cream, Ice Cream, Do you Want some Ice Cream?

For Christmas, Max received a wooden ice cream set, by Melissa and Doug. It came with two ice cream cones, two ice cream scoopers, and four scoops of ice cream. All of the pieces are magnetic, so he can use the scoop to pick up the ice cream, and then once placed on the cone it sticks on the magnet, it is really cool. He also received a grocery cart, because he loves to push things around.

Well, these two gifts have merged into an ice cream cart. The ice cream kit is always kept in this cart and Max will push it around and serve us ice cream out of it.

I thought it was cute a few weeks ago, when I was at the kitchen table working on my homework and he came and served me some ice cream. Then he fixed a second cone, turned around to give it to Owen only to discover that Owen wasn't there. He asked me where he was, I said, upstairs, so he grabbed the cone and headed up the stairs yelling, "Owen, ice cream!"

As if that wasn't cute enough, a couple of weeks ago, I walked into the family room to discover that Max was serving his sister ice cream.






I am very happy that he already wants to include his sister in his play.
