Cookie time!

One of the biggest joys in Dude's life is M and M cookies... and really, can you blame him?  He has requested that we start going back to the Portage Meijer (AKA cookie store) because they have better cookies there, usually M & M's.  haha.  So, I figured if he loves them so much we should just make some at home :)

He's so interested in helping and with cookies there isn't really anything he can't do.  Sure, it takes a whole lot longer, there is a BIG OLE mess at the end, but he loves it so much.  :)  We made half the batch with M and M's and the other with toffee bits... those where really more for me.  haha.  Lucy even got in on the action and helped make sure that nobody ran off with the chocolate chip goodness. haha.

He is really blossoming and showing interest in things now instead of bouncing around from activity to activity.  Today he read books to me for 45 minutes... and they were pretty sophisticated books I thought for a 3 year old!  And he really didn't have any problems with them... most would think that its because we've read these books a bajillion times and he's just memorized them, but he was reading library books that we just got.  He also schooled Papa in some subtraction yesterday... haha.  They were doing some worksheets and Gaetan was trying to be delicate and explain and Dude just busted everything out.  No problems.  It's funny.  It's also interesting because he acts so shy when you ask him to do stuff, but I know that he knows how to do it, so I was happy that he just did it this afternoon.

I enjoyed our little time together.  Makes this Momma so proud of him.  :)
