Intro to Claire & Anson and Okonomiyaki

I found a website recently with foods Japanese kids like to eat and found Okonomiyaki. (okonomiyakiboy)  I vaguely remember eating it, but not often so I was excited to try it.  You know me.  I love trying new recipes, and I love Japanese food.  And... SUCCESS.  It's easy and we all liked it.  It's a dinner version of a pancake with veggies in it, but the fun part is the faces.  I used a hard boiled egg for the eyes instead of cheese and added slices of clementines for ears.
Claire thought her boy looked like her (I tried to make the hair longer...)  When she was eating she kept saying, "Mmm!  I'm yummy!  Claire is yummy!" 

In other news, Claire & Anson are starting to play together already.  So far they don't play long together and I can't leave them alone together quite yet, but I'm so pleased they like to hang out together. 

This is just so typical of both of them.  Anson is pretty happy to chew on his hands all day long.  And Claire loves to pretend to sleep and makes beds for herself all over the place.  Earlier I had to remind her not to jump on her bed so she found a solution - she made one on the floor.  That was fine with me.  And Anson thought it was hilarious.  This went on for quite a while that afternoon.  Claire and I watched these clips when I imported them and we both were laughing together at them.
