Ice Cream Cones.

While Dave was here he bought sweetened condesed milk meaning to buy condesed milk. A very easy mistake. We have never been able to use it since we don't know of any recipes that call for it. I finally found and ice cream recipe that uses sweetened condesed milk and doesn't use an ice cream machine! Bonus!! So we made it. Well Robert and Alestair made it. We made the reeses version. It turned out ok. I am not posting the recipe because it is far better just making it the real way. It had a small texture weirdness to it. Still good but not good enough. Alestair didn't even like it enough to eat all of his ice cream cone. He acutally gave his cone with ice cream to Emmett and was so proud that he shared! He yelled at me to get the camera. He then got a plain ice cream cone. He loves them and likes to eat them like crackers.

I am so happy that my boys have such a love for each other. Alestair is really into watching Emmett learn new things and gets so proud of him! At their last Dr appt. Alestair heard the doctor say that Emmett was very heathly and Alestair decided to celebrate by giving him a hug so large he couldn't stand up. Alestair also loves to watch Emmett with anything like blocks, cookies, books and so on. When Alestair is done he passes it to Emmett and tells him what to do with it or lets him eat it then sits back and sighs like he is the best brother ever...which for Emmett he really is :). My favorite is when Emmett gets hurt and Alestair comes to rescue him. Alestair always says "OH! MY MOMMY!" then rubs Emmetts back and says "itsa k Ennit, Itsa K" He does this in the car when Emmett is pitching a fit too. Emmett is so spoiled by his brother we have far more tanturms from him. I am ok with this only because it shows how much his brother loves him...and because he still doesnt get everything he wants :)
