Today, Ben I and I did some baking. He had his breakfast and I was not sure what we should do until nap time, so I pulled out my cookie cookbook and the first page that opened, was.....my favorite cookie ever! SNICKERDOODLES!
I asked Ben if he wanted to "help mommy make cookies for daddy" and his answer was "num num" (I'll take that as a yes!). He was such a good helper - mixing the eggs with a spoon, helping pour the sugar in the mixing bowl and watching them in the oven while the cooked, all the while saying "num num".... When the timer went off, he can running to the oven. He knows to stay back while mommy has the oven door open...he will stand at the end of the kitchen and not even take one step until the door is fully closed and I give him the "okay". We let them cool and then sat in the kitchen and did our taste testing... you can imagine what words came out of Mr. Benjamin's mouth...."num num!"
I think we will try and bake more often - that way he learns about the kitchen and daddy gets fresh cookies when he gets home! Its a win win! I just need to find him a cute little apron (a cute BOY apron that is)
I got a cute Halloween plate a few weeks ago and thought it would be cute for our cookies today - we'll see how long they last on the plate ;)
