Brennan loves to help me in the kitchen. He is such a little scientist and always very curious. He wants to measure and pour and stir and watch things as they turn from batter to cake. Confession: I am sometimes have trouble relinquishing control in these situations (crazy "type A" personality!) and I fight the urge to cringe when I see sugar tossed on a counter-top or egg shells in the measuring cup...but really...how can I resist this face?? And the apron?? Please...there's no way I can turn him down! Truth be told...he really is such a sweet boy and I love the memories we make when we are baking up something tasty...a messy kitchen is the least of my concerns :)
See the focus? He is very serious about his baking skills. Perhaps he will be the next Cake Boss?? I'll keep you posted!
I remember Kirsten having a great children's recipe book that went on the assumption there would be egg shells in the bowl after cracking an egg. It read something like this, "Tap the egg on the counter and then pour out the insides into the bowl. Now, take out the shells from the bowl..." I love Brennan's chubby little arms and perfect smile. xo
