our little chef

You have really been enjoying our time together when we cook. I brought out mixing bowls, ingredients, the cookbook and baking pans and prepared to make a cake with you last week for Thanksgiving. You loved it and were more than happy to get in there and mix the ingredients. You were more interested in licking the sugar out of the measuring cup, and that held your attention for quite some time. Today we learned how to make homemade cinnamon rolls. While watching me punch the dough, you asked if you could do it too. This is the only time that hitting is okay.

Then you brought out some playdough and began rolling it with the pin and sprinkling cinnamon on it. You insisted that it be cooked in the same pan with the other rolls...maybe another time when I'm in the mood for experimenting. This is becoming one of my most favorite past times with you. Who cares how the recipe actually turns out when we have so much fun just being together.
