Making a mess out of her breakfast. I made her crepe filled with yoghurt and caramelized bananas* and let her eat it with her hands. Ended up feeding it to her because she squished and dumped half of it into her bib. She finished almost everything though!
She likes the mouse. When she sees me on the laptop, she cries and wants to be carried to the table - she'll then peer intently into the screen, fiddle with the keyboard and click on the mouse.
The girl has a fascination with shoes. She will walk up to the shoe rack and take a variety of my shoes out. Sometimes she walks over to me and hands me the shoe, other times she will wear them and walk around. She also likes her Dad's shoes. Once I caught her with her foot in his boot.
* Here's the recipe I concocted.
Crepe 1/4 cup plain flour
1 egg
water
1/2 tsp sugar
Mix the flour, egg and sugar together. Add enough water to create a think pouring consistency. Lighly butter a frying pan and ladle enough batter to form a think layer on the pan. Flip when underside browns slightly, and cook several minutes on the other side.
Caramelized bananas
Slice a ripe banana. Melt a tsp of butter in the frying pan and add the bananas in. Cook till bananas soften and brown slightly.
Spread a layer of yoghurt on the crepe, and top with banana. Wrap it up into a neat package and slice it up for your child.

I had my crepe with a layer of nutella topped with the banana. It was yummy!
