Roman Holiday

Yesterday was Roman's turn for his one on one time with Momma and MiMi. 

(oh and Cohen too)

I thought it would be fun to take him back to the LCM 

and let him pick what he wanted to do, 

and let him do his chosen activity for as long as his little heart desired.

I whispered to him in the morning that we had a special surprise for him.

I told him that he would be able to cook in the fun kitchen again.

As soon as the words escaped my lips he was running through the house

squealing about "cookin' in da kitchen!"

Guess he didn't get the memo that loose lips sink ships!!

As we were heading downtown to spend the day with him he asked about BeBe. (Griff)

Gotta  love his heart and that he desires to include his brother in his fun times.

*Warning obscene amount of pics to follow.  Now carry on.*  

Baby Bear and MiMi hand in hand on the way to his "Roman holiday."

Once inside we didn't waste any time and headed straight to the cafe

where Roman put on his chef jacket and went to work.

While working on the line he made a sandwich for MiMi...

...and served it with a smile.

He then went back to work scrubbing pots in the sink.

He was giving this little boy the "stank eye" for cooking in his kitchen.

Baby Bear is a trip.

Now the serious cooking is about to begin.

Notice the intensity on his face as he stirs up his pot.

"Bam" that is how it is done!

The "stank eye" was then redirected to me...

"Get out of my kitchen Mommy" with the finger point.

Oh no he didn't!!!

I guess he needed a little more room to work his magic.

Here he is cooking up a storm.

What's on the menu?

Why gumbo of course!

The look is just too much!

Serving his gumbo up to MiMi.

His smile says it all~

he is so proud of his food.

After serving lunch and dinner he then headed over to Winn Dixie

to make some groceries.

Oh how I love this boy.

Time to check out.

I love this child's mind.

He didn't just throw "stuff" into his basket.

He thought out a meal of his favorite things.

Boiled crabs with corn and french bread,

red beans,

pancakes,

and ice cream for dessert.

These are all of his favorite things!

Pretty impressive for a 2 year old.

Our sleeping prince was just along for the ride.

Zzzzzzzzzz.......

What's for dinner in the cajun cottage?

Duh... a pot of crabs of course!

Peek-A-Boo.

I love you!

Okay, I'm getting a little crabby!

We had such a fun day with Baby Bear on his "Roman holiday!"

He is  such a joy to hang out with.

He is game for just about anything and his smile and disposition is so delightful.

Love this boy more than words can say...

Can't wait to see what Griff picks for his one-on-one special day!
