cinnamon cookies

We made some awesome cookies this week.

You have really been taking this three year old stuff seriously.

You stopped using the toddler potty seat in the bathroom all on your own with NO suggestions from anyone.

You are joining in at the library story times, telling me that this is what three year olds do.  

And you did most of the cookie making all yourself!!!

You poured and mixed the ingredients with me. Then you used the spoon to scoop the dough out and roll it into balls. You rolled the balls in cinnamon and sugar and set them on your pan.

So sweet!

Your favorite part was eating the dough off the beaters. When I handed them to you, you said, “you’re so nice”. =)

The cookies were divine, and so were the many photos I got to take while YOU made them. You also loved taste testing them hot out of the oven.
