Rainy Day Activities

In preparation for the rainy season, I thought I should start preparing indoor activities that are both educational and fun (a/k/a things to do between Dora, Mickey and those wonderful Wonder Pets). Sooo... we decided to embark on our first baking adventure. And what could be more kid-friendly than good old chocolate chip cookies (from the freshest whole wheat we could grind ourselves, of course)!

Our we excited?? You bet!


Here's Grace concentrating on those wet ingredients...



And then you have to take the dry stuff and scoop it up and dump it!


Of course, now that Grace is deep into toddlerhood, she wants to do everything "all by myself!" In fact, she told mommy to "Go, Go, Go and watch a movie, Mommy."



You've got to hand it to her, though - she has mastered the skill of concentration. That is, when we are doing something she wants to do!


Daddy came home just in time to sample the batter...



And the final product...



Okay, maybe that just looks like one big cookie to you, but it was fantastic and we had fun!

Yes!! New daytime activity for the books!
