Wha-la Cookies!

Sean and I played the cookie game this morning. It is so cute. It comes with spoons that have suction cups attached to them. Each person gets an ingredient list for their cookies- peanut butter, chocolate chip or oatmeal raisin. Then you have to take your spoon and slap at the pieces in hopes of getting what you need. But watch out for the rotten egg - if you get that you have to put all of your ingredients back and start over! The game begins by saying "Ready, Set, Bake!"

So as we are playing he says, "Mom this game is making me hungry for cookies!" Surprise, surprise, surprise! So,I found one of his non-dairy mixes and we went up to make cookies. He kept saying steer instead of stir. He would say, "Mom I want to steer. I love steering." Maybe he has been listening to Bob Marley without my knowledge - you know "Steer (stir) it up!"

He had a hard time rolling the dough into balls - he kept getting a "hot dog." So he decided to make hot dogs and then "squeeze them down" them into balls. It worked great and he was so proud of himself. He kept asking if they were done every 30 seconds or so for 10 minutes!

Make sure you watch the video of him demonstrating how to make cookies! Don't mind Justin crying in the background - he is trying to fall asleep in his swing. We definitely do CIO (cry it out) in this house!
