After my mom was so kind as to pick up cheese and Baylor's vitamins at the grocery store, we stopped by their house to pick them up. We ended up staying longer than I had anticipated, in no small part because they were interested in helping me get some cookies made to keep in our freezer. So, we set forth with our cookie task!
Little B even got to see the action from atop a step stool!
And he got to help shut the container of sugar!
"Hm ... what's in there?"
In this picture he is asking for the mixer to go "fast" ... one of his favorite words!
He decided to spice things up a bit by tearing little bits of paper off the top of the salt container and throwing them in the mixer. Luckily, Mom and Christine were able to fish them all out before they got mixed in.
Then he got to help put in the M&M's, and he didn't even try to eat one!
His little hands are generally moist (borderline sweaty), so the M&M's started sticking to his wee paws. To help solve this problem, he started picking up the candies with his right hand and transferring them to his left. It was an inexact science, to say the least.
Toward the end, he started telling us what color M&M he was putting into the bowl.
He is endlessly fascinated with the mixer ... I really should bake more.
My parents recently got a new oven, and the little man is still getting used to it. So, as usual, he had to inspect it and try to figure out how to make it beep.
Once he got down from the kitchen island, it was time to play.
First stop, under the bar stools to check out the tags.
Next up, a big, shiny, blue ball from Target.
He especially liked it when he'd run into us hard enough to knock himself over and we'd say, "Boing!"
He's also all about climbing; even if it's just atop his little Ikea step stool, he wants to see the world from a new perspective.
Oma opened a blank Microsoft Word document, and let him press on the keyboard. That was a huge hit with him!
On a sadder note, I put one of my fingers through the upper left thigh of my compression hose and now have a wicked run in them. Grrrr. I was so hoping they'd last this last week and a half!
Happy St. Patrick's Day, everyone!
