Tonight Lily had a birthday party/sleepover to go to so I asked Jackson what he would like to do? Figuring he would ask to go to some play place or Bass Pro, I somewhat mentally prepared myself for that. (Can you tell how much I love both of those places? :-) Well, his answer totally surprised me. "Mommy, I want to go to the grocery store and get stuff to make cookies! And then I want to put frosting on them! And then we can make chocolate cookies with chocolate chips! And then, I want to make a chocolate cake too, Mommy!" Well...we narrowed it down to sugar cookies with frosting. This boy is just like me in the sweet department. Limits? What limits? Haha!
He got a new monkey apron from Grandma L. for Christmas that he was able to wear for the first time. He loved it! We had such a great time baking together! He was so excited to use the roller, Valentine's Day cookie cutters, put them on the baking sheet, and of course, sneak a bite of cookie dough (or two) in the process! As wild as he can be, he was actually gentle with the cookie dough when I asked him to be and enjoyed learning how to use all of the "tools". Granted, there was frosting to look forward to so I know there was an extra incentive for him to stay involved in the process as long as he did! And when the frosting part came, he went full speed! I had to stop him from emptying the entire sprinkles jar on one cookie! I knew that wildness would come out at some point :-)
Enjoy some pictures of our fun mommy/son cookie baking time!
