Baking With Toddlers

After a week that seemed harder than most, I confided to my husband that I was stuck in a horrible maternal rut that involved not enough coffee and too much television.  While it didn't at all contribute towards a cleaner house, I decided to take his suggestion and attempt baking with my 16 month old.  I learned some important lessons through this adventure:

A toddler will eat ANYTHING, regardless of how it tastes (even Crisco).

Everyone likes to lick the beater.

There's no mood (or mess to clean up) that a chocolate chip cookie can't fix.

We'll call this one a success.
