crack the eggs
or
count the sprinkles
or
stir the batter
or
cream the butter
she enjoyed every minute as did i. sure we {okay i} had a huge mess to clean up but more importantly we were together and i was able to teach her a lesson on loving your neighbor. the cookies were for friends who just has a baby and while we made them i discussed many of the ways in which we show love for our neighbor. making dinner & cookies is just one of them. and then i watched as my 2 year old joyfully served her neighboor. despite not feeling well. despite cabin fever. despite it all, she showed me that loving and serving is never based on feelings. and if you'll just take some extra time and use all the sprinkles you have, then it always brings joy.
