I baked cookies with Ale yesterday...or, I should say I helped Ale bake cookies yesterday...she read the ingredient list and I had her measure them, and we spoke about 1/4 cups and 1/8 teaspoons and so on...she also read the recipe "instructions" once and then I was reading them to her step by step so she could follow it!...Obviously, I put the cookies in the oven and then took them out, but, for the most part, she made them!!...the result: yummy banana cookies (sans raisins: we don't keep any at the house!) which she proudly took to school today!
Princess Perky would be proud of me!

It is just so sad that some people think I'm exploiting my child or being mean to her when I make her do stuff on her own (I got dirty looks at the supermarket the other day for making her pick up some candies when she turned over the box inadvertedly), but, this sort of thing helps build children's self esteem!
