Today the Babe is sick. She has a runny, drippy nose, and has gone through a significant amount of Kleenex. As a result, I have chicken soup cooking in the crockpot for dinner. We are staying indoors most of the day. Well, we did go out for a little bit because the Babe got a brand new bicycle yesterday. It is purple, her favorite color, and she has a blue, pink and heart decorated helmet. My child does not shy away from color or patterns.
As it is very cold out today, we couldn't stay outside too long. I needed something to tempt her away from her new bicycle. Oranges! How do you distract a three year old from a bicycle with oranges? We made fresh orange juice. Not only was it an activity, but it got some much needed vitamin C into her system. We used a citrus juicer that rests over a cup, and manually twisted and squeezed out juice. It was fun and delicious. Now, time to snuggle on the couch with more Kleenex and juice.
