Lincoln Stories

Lincoln still doesn't know how open doors. I'm sure he could if he tried, but he just doesn't seem to have an interest in trying. Yeah for me! Anyways, everyday when he wakes up, I hear him calling, "Mom, where are you?"

Last night we were making cookies. Lincoln was super excited! He kept putting his finger in the bowl to "taste." I told him not to do that several times because we needed to take some of the cookies to church. We even had a small discussion about germs, but I'm pretty sure he wasn't listening. Anyways, I stepped away from the counter for a moment to get something. When I turned around, I see my child LICKING the beater that is still attached to my kitchenaid mixer. AHHHHH! I couldn't get too mad because he did follow my directions. He didn't put his finger in the bowl. : )

On a side note, I did take the beater off and wash it before we proceeded in our baking. Also, the cookies will not be going to church as planned. Apparently we didn't get enough flour into the bowl because the cookies didn't bake up very well. Lincoln was in charge of dumping everything into the bowl. I found some behind the mixer when I was cleaning up. So, we will give it another try today. I think nap time would be a great time to make some M & M cookies. Don't you?
