This afternoon Alex and I needed something to do (I was not in the mood to go outside!) so I decided we should bake some cookies. We need to meet our next door neighbor and taking her a plate of cookies was a good reason to go over! Anyways, Alex followed me over to where I was looking for my pink recipe book. I told him I was trying to find my cookbook so we could make some cookies.
He scampered away. I thought he had lost interest.
But he returned with what HE thought I was looking for...
his Sesame Street Cookie Cookbook!
I about died, I couldn't believe how smart he was. But then, Will often reads to him the cookbook when he is going to bed! He is SO my child...I have multiple food magazines and recipe books! So without further ado we sat on the floor to pick a recipe and then got started.
Here are the steps for how a toddler boy follows a recipe. Below all the pictures is the actual recipe!
