Making cookies... Brayden style!

While Caleb was down for his morning nap today, Brayden and I decided to make some cookies.  He has his own little baking set, so he promptly put on his apron and was ready to help!  Let's just say that although I believe my child is pretty good at a lot of things, this particular activity was not one of his strong points!  Here's what happens when you let a 3-year-old be in charge:

Once I accepted the fact that we weren't going to win any bake-offs, he had a great time rolling the dough and using his mini cookie cutters.  I stepped in at the last minute and managed to make at least a few recognizable shapes...and into the oven they went!  

They actually looked fairly decent in the end (the one on the top left is a person, in case you couldn't quite make it out!)  haha

The best part...eating the dough!

He may not ever be a professional baker...but he's darn cute :)

Also so darn cute - that apron! What a stud! And the fact that he has his own little baking set - a little man after my own heart.
