The girls love pulling pots and pans out of the drawer you can see in the background and "cooking".  They cook by spinning their spoons around in the empty bowls.  Here, however, they've moved from "cooking" to "drumming", which they accomplish by flipping their empty bowls over and banging the bejeezus out of them with their spoons.  You can guess which one of these two activities Amy and I encourage...

But Dad, I wasn't drumming - honest!

To quote Hayley after she samples her pretend cooking:  "Ummm.  Delicious!"

It's a bowl.  It's a drum.  It's a hat!

Shelby shows as much ability to miss her mouth with her pretend food as she does with her real food every night at dinner.
