Help in the Kitchen

I was making sugar cookies recently and Kate wanted to help. Here she is showing off her addition to the sugar cookies. If you look close, you'll see little balls and snake like shapes on top of the cookies - Kate's creation.

Isn't this the REAL UNDERLYING motivator for all kids in "helping" bake cookies? EATING the dough. :) I've never met a child who wanted to help make cookies without thinking the whole time of how and when they could get their hands on some of that dough. YUM YUM.
