Bakers Delight

Even from a very young age, Ryan has been fascinated with anything to do with cooking or baking. Could this be a trait inherited from his foodie Mama? :) We had a baking frenzy at home recently, with our Little Baker getting right into the action. We had to measure out twice the required ingredients because a lot of it ended up in Ryan's mouth, especially the chocolate chips! Not only did we have some delicious chocolate chip cookies and a chocolate chip butter cake to feast on, it was also a wonderful way of keeping a three year old entertained.

In goes the egg...

...and now we beat it...

Now for the best part ... the chocolate chips (notice the tell-tale marks around our baker's mouth!)

Into the oven they go...

And finally, into the mouth they go

We ended the week going to watch a pantomime of one of Ryan's favourite books "The Gruffalo" with his good buddy Jaden. The boys are probably a little too young to fully appreciate pantomimes at this stage but we Mamas and Daddys thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
