Bake me a cake as fast as you can....

Gen learned a new word today--snow. It snowed here overnight, and so we are staying in this morning. So we did something new--we made cookies together. Seemed like a good idea since "cookie" is Genny's second favorite word, right behind "baby."

Gen's stirring her "dough," just like Mommy.

Here she is adding the sprinkles to the cookies. She is a very insistent and thorough sprinkle-applier.
Waiting for cookies is so tough!

Ah, sweet cookie!

Through this experience, I have learned a few things:


1. Although toddlers do not understand that there is a difference between cookie dough and an actual cookie, they are acutely aware of whether or not the lid is on the sprinkles. So there was no pretending to put sprinkles on the cookies, she had to have the real deal. Thus, there are sprinkles all over the kitchen. It's festive.


2. My dog, the canine vacuum, does not eat sprinkles.


3. Waiting 8 minutes for the cookies to cook is an eternity for a toddler.

4. You can never have too many sprinkles on a cookie!
