We have been having a lot of fun celebrating the Christmas season this year. Today when Jesse woke up from his nap, we enjoyed making some sugar cookies and gingerbread cookies. Jesse really seemed to enjoy every second of it. He was a great helper, too. He loved pressing the cookie cutters into the dough and making sure we kept (lots) of flour on our board and rolling pin (and on us as well, as you can probably tell!). Afterwards, we delivered the cookies to friends in our building. Jesse absolutely loved riding the elevator all over the building, and I think it helped him work off his sugar high. He did melt down a little, though, once he realized he couldn't stay and play with any of his friends.
Eating it is, of course, the best part! He got a few bites before dinner, but we made him wait until after dinner to eat a whole cookie. Once he realized that he wasn't going to get a cookie without eating dinner, he started quickly stuffing his baked potato, carrots and green beans in his mouth.
Just some proof that these cookies made him hyper!
We've also been working on a big paper chain for our Christmas tree. We add to it every day. Jesse likes to color, paint and put stickers on the pieces of paper.
