This is the 3rd time they have gone and used the passes, so now they are "free" mini-putt days to them! However, Kyle now realizes when Julien goes out - and he gets quite upset. He had just gotten up from his nap when they were leaving, and the big crocodile tears started.
We went to the window to wave good bye, and then I told him we could make blueberry muffins. This is the first time I have actually baked with Kyle. He is often with me, sitting in the booster seat and 'helping" but today I actually let him REALLY help me. He sat on the counter, and he got to pour the ingredients into the bowl.
He was able to use the electric beaters (with my guidance) and he even helped me spoon some of the muffin mix into the holders.
When we were finished, we tasted our hard work and then played trains for awhile!
SO FUN I bet he was ear to ear smiling! I find with 4 wee ones (6 & under ) it's easy to get carried away with the day to spend real ONE on ONE time, but it means the world and it SO important!!! WAY TO GO MAMA!
ReplyDeletethanks! It is so easy to let the day slip on by without it,...and he was so incredibly thrilled
DeleteYay. It's such special time when it's one on one. I bet he was really proud of those muffins!
ReplyDeleteyep - definitely proud! Thanks for stopping by
DeleteSo adorable! My kids LOVE helping me bake and cook. I bet he loved helping out mommy in the kitchen. It will be something he remembers :)
ReplyDeleteI have fun baking with them too!
DeleteI bake a lot with my kiddos too, probably too much! but it's fun!
ReplyDeletethanks for visiting - I still remember baking with my mom and my grandma when I was little...so I hope I am creating fond memories with my boys!
DeleteSuper cute sounds like you guys had a ball! The kids and I bake together a lot and when we do it together it's so much more fun. We haven't baked in a few weeks because of the heat, but I'm looking forward to it again!
ReplyDeletethanks for visiting!
DeleteMy kids love to be in the kitchen. I get a little nervous though as I am not comfortable in there (I suck at cooking). Looks like you guys had fun!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE to bake and cook....I hope the kids keep up with it
DeleteAwwww! So sweet! I love baking with Little One too! Mind you, I've been getting so much better at not worrying about the mess. I HATE mess...yet I have a 3 year old! LOL
ReplyDeleteI also hate the extra mess....but it's worth it
DeleteI love baking with my two as well. DH took the youngest fishing this weekend and they sure do love the one on one time!
ReplyDeletesometimes it's easy to forget how much the one - one time is important
DeleteI love baking with my girls too.
ReplyDeleteNeed to add "bake muffins" to my list of easy things to do to keep the kids busy (and my belly round, oops on that one). We make pancakes every Sunday morning.
