Making Cookies

Smoothies

Nick Jr. has a segment on every so often about making smoothies. I figured this could be something we could do together. Piper helped me get the fruit ready, and she put it in the blender. We used strawberries, cherries, blackberries, and I snuck in a plum. She had never had one before and we had a dozen that were going to go to waste. We also added fruit juice and some plain yogurt. She loved pushing the buttons on the blender and was excited to finally make it. Of course she had to have stickers on her straw like they do on t.v. Now every time it comes on, she reminds me that we made them together.

Making Cookies

Last night we made chocolate chip cookies, and Piper got to help. Even standing on her step stool, she is too short to reach the counter. So she sat on the counter and helped add ingredients to the bowl. She even helped stir the chocolate chips in at the end.

She wasn't too sure about licking the beaters at first, but tried it out before finally throwing it on the floor. I think she liked eating the cookies the best of all.
