Able Baker Lily

Since Tom was born, I've been making a point to do special things with Lily that only big girls get to do. One of our favorite things to do together is bake, and I figured that she'd love to eat the cookies or muffins or whatever we make after they come out of the oven. But she really just wants to eat the dough. She gets mad when I "take it all" to put in the oven, and she needs a cooling off period herself after the treats are baked before she wants to eat them. After a while, the opportunity to eat sweets makes her foget how ticked off she was. Here she is sampling sugar cookie dough, which we shaped into hearts and studded with M&Ms. YUM!
