Big Day – First Cookie Bake!

This is a big day for me because it’s another one of those moments where I really see all the potential in you. You are growing up so quickly. I never imagined at 18 months, you would be capable of helping me make cookies! But you are so willing to try anything new, with just a little bit of instruction, patience and encouragement. You are such an independent, smart little girl. Just look at the concentration on your face. You didn’t crack a smile until the end. You were utterly absorbed. 🙂

You helped me mix the dry ingredients and then helped me put the butter in the bowl. My little clean freak needed to wipe her hands off after that bit.

This is about the point where you started getting excited and realized that these were for eating. You managed to get some dough in  your mouth before I could stop you once or twice. I don’t blame you. Raw eggs or no, cookie dough is delicious.

You thought the baked product was worth the wait.

This makes me look forward even more to all the other things I get to teach you how to do. You’re such a great little student and wonderful company. I love you, baby.
