Ariana has been discovering the joys of Christmas baking this holiday season. What a difference from last year, where I could put her in her bouncy chair and, basically, bake to my hearts content. This year, I have two little hands pulling my leg asking for "bup, Mommy". (For those of you who don't know, that's Ariana's version of "up") and a very eager helper who likes to be in the middle of EVERYTHING Mommy is doing. Somehow, I have managed to make a few things, though it is largely scaled down from previous years. I have also found it in my heart to be unselfish and have let my munchkin lick the spoons- which is one of MY favorite things to do! She has been in her glory!!! What I should have posted were pictures of the fits thrown, after I have pried away a "very much licked, chewed on, every last trace of cookie goodness sucked out of" wooden spoon! She also is a fan of the cookies in their intended state...baked. I cannot seem to sneak one past her! No matter how occupied she may seem, she somehow senses that "Mommy is in the good stuff" and comes running asking "more...pity pweeeease"
...I gave Ariana some measuring spoons and a one cup measure so she could stir her bowl as well. Here she is- busy whipping up a batch...
...her very first spoon lickin' experience
