When Liam's Away, With Wheat We Will Play

The sound of a little chair scraping across the kitchen floor is a familiar one around here. When something is happening at the kitchen counter - anything at all - Sarah wants a close-up view. Grating cheese, slicing an apple, peeling potatoes, cracking an egg...putting a piece of bread in the toaster...you get the idea. The point is, Sarah is very interested in all things cooking, and spends a lot of her day dragging a chair around!
Yesterday afternoon Liam had a play date with Nan to bake some gluten free buns. With Mr. Sneezy out of the house it was the perfect opportunity to let the flour fly and get Sarah involved baking "wheat cookies" (known to the rest of the world as just "chocolate chip"). I'm not sure if it was because the two of them weren't fighting over pouring and stirring, or if it's just that gluten free cookies are exponentially more stressful to bake (they kind of are), but this was a really fun baking experience. And as Sarah is demonstrating here, we didn't even burn the bottoms!
