I've always wanted a child that would follow in my footsteps. I love baking. I could spend all day in the kitchen baking. Baking not cooking! There is a difference. Anyway, sometimes when I need to bake I get Everett to join me. It keeps him supervised and a little entertained. He becomes my baking apprentice. I've learned that I have to let go of my "everything has to be perfect" mentality and just enjoy that time with him in the kitchen. Maybe one day he'll truly enjoy it.
We were making cookies there other day and Everett really enjoyed it. Mainly cause you know when you're the baker you get to "test" everything from beginning to end. I would tell him to pour the chocolate chips in. So he would, but first he had to sample a few:
After testing then he stirs
I started unwrapping the peanutbutter cups and handing them over thinking he'd just put them in the bowl. The first one he immediately puts in his mouth! Just had to make sure it tasted alright.
And the last and final testing before they get handed out.
