Hi Dada! How is New York? I miss you!

Today I got to go to my toddler class at Montclair Community Play Center. Here I am working on a mixed-media masterpiece (tempera paint and cotton balls).

When we got home, Mama cooked one of my favorite dishes for dinner: pasta with homemade spinach pesto. I helped make the sauce! I like to dry the leaves in the salad spinner. You have to push hard (but not too hard)!
