Shaken not Stirred

Gabe has taken a liking to our martini shaker...how very 'Mad Men' of him. Only he loves to take it apart, put it back together, and put things (like legos) in it to shake (which is the most use this thing has gotten in years). If we taught him to make drinks that would be a little too 'Mad Men' of us.

Could I interest you in a cold drink?

Ok, let me just get my shaker...

First I'm going to take the top off...

Let's just see what's inside before we start...

Trust me...this IS how it's done...

I gently put the top back on...

Now shake it like crazy...

And voila! Here you are...

That's hilarious! I love how he uses his mouth as an extra hand. Now, let's get him to uncork a wine bottle.

Can you teach him to make a dirty martini because that's how I roll. The cloudier the better! So cute :)

That's too funny! Isn't it great how everything is entertaining to toddlers?

Hilarious!! I bet Gabe really knows how to host a playdate! :)

Janet said...

Ha! I LOVE this! Gabe, I'll take a side car martini, please!

This gives me a good idea for something new to entertain Little D. He seems to really like kitchen items more than most toys he has.

Very smooth, Gabe. I hope he doesn't pick up any other Don Draper habits, though...

Too funny...I do love the Mad Men comments. ;) It's amazing what kids find entertaining. I always love when we buy presents for kids and they are usually more interested in the box than the actual present.

Too funny; loved the running commentary of your action shots as he shakes it up!!!

Let's hope this is the *only* Mad Men tendency he has... ;-)

S is off limits from our martini shaker ever since he threw it full force at the glass front cabinet. :-/
