Jan. 10 - Today was another unusually big snow day in the Plymouth area, so what better thing to do but to bake up warm sugar cookies! Yes, I started with the break-apart kinds for Mateo's first go at it. I didn't want to seem to ambitious ; )
I tried to show him how to arrange the cookies on the cookie sheets and he clearly had his own idea. He was so proud of himself and why shouldn't he be?
After waiting 15 very long toddler minutes of baking time and another few minutes of cooling time, it was time for some decorating. I frosted the cookies and Mateo did the sugar-shaker decorating: blue, green, yellow, orange, pink and purple. He got the hang of it right away and loved it. 
Ta-da! Decorated sugar cookies a la Mateo. Now was the time to taste the fruits of his labor. He had a cup of milk to wash it all down with but all he really wanted was cookie after cookie. I have to cut him off and as you could imagine he got quite upset.
Today was a great day for being "stuck" in the house. Mateo and I had an absolute blast from baking and decorating cookies to taking a long walk out in the evening snow, while Ric was on snow duty. I must say that this was one of my most memorable days with my little man. He's growing SO fast.
