Esther has her own unique view on how the world works. For instance, if the mom driving you home in the Joy School carpool offered you the last chocolate in a box, you'd probably accept it. But if you were an Esther, you'd ask if you could keep the box, being sure that somehow the box was a key to making more chocolates.
Esther was positive that the words on the back of the box were instructions on how to make more chocolates. Nothing I could say would change that opinion.
Strangely enough, I actually had some melting chocolate on hand. I have never made chocolates before in my life, so it really is odd that we had some. Esther decided to put blueberries, strawberries, and peanut butter (all separately) into the "mold" then pour on the melted chocolate.
Since the back of the box had pictures of decorated chocolates, we had to decorate ours too. Good thing we had a few spoon fulls of William's birthday cake frosting leftover in the fridge.
They actually turned out pretty good!
They tasted even better than they looked. Esther says that tomorrow we need to make some to send to Daddy.
Keeping up with Esther's ideas is incredibly fun, but never ending. For example, notice the necklace and bracelet she's wearing in the pictures. She made one yesterday and the other today. She is constantly making things and amazing me. My current favorite is this crown:
Yesterday she was playing on the computer. I heard the printer and she ran to show me the princesses she'd found and printed off. She asked for her glue, scissors, and tape - nothing new after printing something. I proceeded to do what I was doing (talking on the phone with Cameron I think) when a little while later she came to me wearing this beautiful crown. She had cut out the princesses and glued them to a scrap of plastic I hadn't thrown away yet. Then she taped the ends together to fit her head. What a creative little girl we've got!

Wow, you have one REALLY smart daughter! Have fun keep up with her. I bet William will be the same in his own way. Probably a litle more like Cameron.
Wow, Esther is REALLY smart. Have fun keeping up with her. I bet she is going to be busy especially as she gets older.
Wow. I don't think Dyson would have thought of any of that. What an amazing kid. She is so smart and creative. What a blessing...and a curse! haha. Tell Esther Hi for us. Dyson started preschool at the GAP this week and he would ask if Esther was going to be there too? He misses her.
This post shows me that I need to give Dys a little more freedom with some things. I think I do things for him a little to much. haha
That our Ester. And William did his part, eating Ester's creations.
Love
