Brady really, really wanted to make cookies for his reading group at school. He double checked with his teacher to make sure it would be okay, determined that all four of them like chocolate chip, and asked if I could help him. (Over and over again.)
He mashed the butter and measured the water and cracked the egg (no shell, woohoo!), and I added the mix. And then he got to work mixing. He huffed and a little and noted that it took some pretty good arm muscle to get the job done, but he persevered.
And an hour or so later, he had a full batch of chocolate chip cookies.
I love that he wanted to do something sweet (ba-dum dum) for his classmates because caring for one another... that's where it's at. Even when that care comes in the form of a simple cookie.
