Max's first baking lesson about a month ago was a battle of wills. He didn't totally understand the concept of things coming together in the art of baking. You might think, well he's 23 months old – of course he doesn't understand patience – but actually, his little spats weren't about waiting for the cookies to be done, it was that he couldn't deal with the stuff getting mixed together.
You can't see his frustration in these pictures, but trust me when I say he REALLY wanted to keep the ingredients separate in the bowl, even though I tried explaining to him that baking = mixing = really yummy cookies later. (And let's not even talk about when we added the eggs in!) Go figure. Anyway, there is a happy ending to this story. Scroll all the way down for it! Happy Monday!

(And remember the last time Cookie Monster made an appearance?)
