Baker-man






Jack loves baking cookies. As Christmas season has moved into full swing, we've been busy making our annual batches of Christmas cookies, and Jack has been very excited to be a part of it. he has enjoyed cooking with us for quite some time now, and has really taken to baking. A lot of flour has ended up on the floor, and our cutout cookies are much more heavily sprinkled than in years past, but he's a pretty solid baking assistant, all told. He loves to do the cut-outs, and thinks they are ready to eat as soon as they have been cut... we've been working on the steps in the process! He can also roll a pretty mean snowball. Included are some pictures from our most recent baking event. He now thinks we should bake every day (first words out of his mouth this morning were "we bake cookies?") and is having a hard time understanding that really, 12 dozen cookies is enough! :) As in all things recently, Jack has been intensely 2 as a baker, wanting to do things right away, on his own, neither stopping nor starting when we ask him to. Luckily he's got that moon-eyed smile and a very cute voice, which keeps us all sane!
