Morgan likes to cook and bake. On Monday night's she is home with daddy and she keeps him on his toes by never slowing down. They do all kinds of stuff. She has so much fun, she doesn't want to join Shelby and I next year at Bible Study when she is old enough to go. A few weeks ago, they did some reading and some baking. The book was One Smart Cookie - Bite Size Lessons for the School Years and Beyond.
This is really a cute book that teaches the meaning of the following words: prompt, organized, unorganized, prepared, unprepared, compromise, empathy, kindness, listening, contribute, procrastinate, diligent, persevere, arrogant, humble, ponder, daydream, creative, dishonesty, integrity, and curious. All of the words are defined in a way that pertains to making cookies. For example: Compromise means she wanted to make really big cookies, but he wanted to make teeny-tiny cookies, so they thought about it together and decided to make medium-size cookies. At the end of the book, there is a recipe for One Smart Cookie. They are pretty yummy cookies but instead of chocolate chips or m&m's, they have smarties in them! The recipe suggests saving a sizable portion of the batter to make One (big) Smart Cookie.
Good memories for daddy and his little girl. Good cookies too. However, in my opinion they would have been better without the smarties. But the little baker liked them so I guess that is all that matters! :)
