Little chefs

It makes me so happy that the boys enjoy being in the kitchen. They love to watch me cook (Ian even likes to watch me wash the dishes!) and they help out as much as they can. In one of their books, the main character has a "Baking Day" with his mother, so of course Brady and Ian like it when I tell them we get to have a Baking Day. When they hear this news, they'll rush to pull their stepstools up to the counter.

One morning last week, we made muffins. The boys helped by putting the liners in the muffin tins...


They helped measure and pour the ingredients...

They each got to take a turn stirring...

They're always so proud of the finished product!

While Ian was eating his muffin for breakfast, he said, "Mommy, what kind of muffin is this?" I told him it was a pumpkin muffin. A couple of minutes later, he looked down at his empty plate and said, "It's a gone muffin."
