Rainbow Sprinkles, February 10

I made some chocolate chip cookies today. Baking with the boys, even just having them around while I bake doubles the time it takes to get anything finished. I have childproof locks on all the cupboard doors for the boy's safety and my sanity. When I take the lock off the door its like I just opened Pandora's Box. We have the fun of baking, but I know somewhere at some point there will be a mess. I wasn't disappointed today.

Secret Agent Connor quietly made his way off the stool at the counter where he'd been mixing with Liam and I and headed to the cupboard. I gave a quick glance and was surprised to find him looking, but not touching. Wow! Someone actually listened to instructions? The first time? I was still glowing with pride when Connor got bored and headed into the living room. Liam and I continued to make cookies. Connor found one of his toy instruments to play with and I heard the constant shake, shake, shake. Then I heard an unusual sound. It sounded like his shaker had opened up and the pieces had fallen all over the floor. That's when it hit me. That little thief had stolen my sprinkles from the cabinet. When I came into the living room, this is what I found. A VERY happy little boy surrounded by rainbow sprinkles, eating them as fast as he could, in his glory.
