My sister and my nephew are hanging out at my house today (they’re napping right now, ’cause that’s just how they roll). We had planned on having a pool party, but it rained (fuck you this summer, for serious, we’re drowning here). So, what other way do you spoil your three-year-old nephew when it’s raining and the pool is just not an option?
Baking cookies, of course!
Dmitri is surprisingly good at baking for such a little guy. I should add that we made much less of a mess than I usually do when left to my own devices and baking on my own.
Of course, accidents do happen.
And, of course, licking the spoon is the best part about baking.
I was seriously impressed at how good he was at rolling the cookies in the sugar mixture.
We both ended up with sugar all over our hands. So, then we were sugar monsters. Rawr!
The finished product:
And the little, tiny cookie that D rolled up all by himself.
It was appropriately sized, so we tried to feed it to the baby:
Osmosis was unsuccessful, so my sister took one for the team and promised to pass it along:

aaah, cuteness!! that sugar monster pic is so ADORABLE.
Dmitri, come to the Pasta Fest and Great Auntie Mary will teach you how to bake brownies!
Great post, Hope, particularly the part where I found out that your sister’s expecting. 🙂 Congratulations to all!
Awwwww. Thanks for the heart-warm!
This makes me want to bake cookies with my nephew!
