Poor Will came down with Croup a few days before President's Day so we had to come up with new plans. So what do you do on a snowy holiday when you are sick? We decided to bake cookies. It was our first time having Will help us bake cookies and he was so excited. He loves watching Dave and I in the kitchen, so it was no surprise that he was thrilled to be able to take part in the baking. Dave wanted to make snikerdoodles, he had fond memories of rolling the dough in the cinnamon sugar when he was a kid, so that is what we did. Throughout the whole process Will would randomly yell "delicious!" It was adorable! He loved dumping the ingredients into the bowl.
He was not entirely sure about the mixing, so Dad helped.
Cracking eggs was one of the highlights. He has watched us crack eggs many times and I think he was pretty excited to have the chance to do it himself.
Then he got to roll the dough in the cinnamon sugar, Dad's favorite part.
Waiting for them to cook is so hard!
He did finally get the chance to eat a cookie. He really enjoyed it, but I have to be honest, I think he enjoyed making them more than he enjoyed eating them. Baking cookies was such a fun experience, I am so glad we took the time to do it.
After baking cookies, we started playing a game we have played many times. We hang Dave's old karate belts over the railing and Will pulls them down. Well today he came up with an entirely new game. I think he may have been inspired by watching Tarzan the day before ha ha! Even though we were sick we ended up having a very fun day. So grateful for this sweet little family of mine.
