Elijah's Birthday, Part I -- Baking Birthday Cookies

On April 25th, Elijah decided that he wanted to bake chocolate chip cookies to bring to his class on his birthday.  This was the first time that he didn't just help, he baked.  He did a very serious and conscientious job reading the recipe, measuring, adding and mixing all the ingredients.

Quickly, Keira wanted to join in on the baking fun.  She had a ball scooping and mixing her ingredients and even sang a "Bate, bate, bate, mix, mix, mix" song from Dora while she worked.  Our little bakers had a great, messy, fun time.
