There was a time when weekends were about relaxing and taking it slow. Then, our baby boy grew up into a hyperactive toddler and weekends got packed! There are either errands to run, places to visit or things to do. Our little fella wants an agenda every day. I can’t even imagine how crazy it will get once all these activity classes start. It’s a good thing he shows interest in the kitchen because this is my kind of fun activity. Watching him get involved and put his game face on is just so adorable.
Last Saturday, Arvind had to go to work for the entire day and night. So, keeping Avyan entertained and answering his thousand questions was quite a task. We started with a little bit of gardening, followed by painting and then, he then helped me cook pasta. He then suddenly remembered that I had promised him we would bake cookies together. The boy doesn’t forget!
The cookies turned out so good. It was crumbly, tasting almost like a fudgy brownie. The sprinkles were Avyan’s idea, which I think added a playful character. Just remember to not over mix the dough.
In the process of photographing the Chocolate Sprinkle Cookies, he had a little too many bites, which then followed by monkey dance for the next 40 minutes. Oh boy, Saturday was so busy and this little fella didn’t even get tired. It is exhausting but I push myself to do these things with him because I know that soon a phase will come when he would probably prefer hanging out with friends than with Mumma.
