While growing up we always made sugar cookies with my mom. Marcie and I ate a whole lot of cookie dough when we thought she wasn't looking. Austin is only 15 mos old and he's already shoveling it into his mouth!
Trev put the house together (I hope gingerbread houses aren't like real houses because the roof caved in and the whole thing is about to fall over!) I put the candy on, and Austin ate A WHOLE LOT of sugar. In other words- it was a successful project...
We have a book of stories and music for December. We use it every night and Austin loves his mommy and daddy taking turns "cutting in" to dance with him.
I guess a strange man in a red suit and crazy beard should seem scary, right? Austin did not enjoy sitting on Santa's lap but he did like his sugar cookie.
I read on-line that children Autin's age love forts. We put it to the test and he loved it! We luckily had some boxes left in storage from our move. You can never go wrong with boxes...
