Baking With a Toddler

Baking with a toddler...

Baking with a toddler under foot is not the easiest task to take on, but that is what we did today. Some of my fondest memories growing up were the times I would help my mom in the kitchen. We would cook and bake all sorts of yummy treats. My hand in "helping" usually consisted of licking the spoon, and taste testing the desserts. I still love being in my kitchen, baking and cooking for my family. :)



Your job today Leon was to taste test the chocolate chips before I put them into the cookie dough. You liked this job very much. I could tell because you kept doing the sign language for "more" and "please" until I gave you more chocolate chips. I later came to regret giving you so many when the sugar high hit you. I know now the true meaning of "bouncing off the walls." In the end we made a pretty yummy batch of cookies! You are such a good little helper Leon, even when you make a big mess! And even though we will have many messes to clean up throughout the years, it will be worth the memories we will make together. I love you with all my heart, my messy little boy! :)
