Baikal has become really interested in helping out in the kitchen recently. Pretend cooking is of no interest, this girl wants to get her hands dirty. I think this is partly because they do a bit of baking with the kids at her preschool. Today we made chocolate chip cookies. Baikal's favorite parts are the mixing and the eating. When Matt came home from work, he took her and some of the cookies and made his way around the neighborhood to deliver some of them. Who wouldn't love some nice, warm, gooey cookies after a day's work?
