On a recent Saturday, Erik helped Meredith mix up a batch of cookie dough and after rolling it out on the table, had a fun time pressing out shapes to bake - a car, bird, pig, kitty, heart, etc.
Mer is really getting into helping us cook/bake these days. Knowing she is working with the real stuff (not just her play kitchen), she is quite serious about being careful and deliberate in measuring, pouring, and stirring.
After a few dozen cookies had been made, lots of flour spilled and plenty of remnants consumed, we still had a sizable ball of dough left. Having lost our interest in cutting out shapes, we rolled out one huge cookie - almost the size of the pan! :)
