In preparation of the rest of our camping trip, we needed a delicious dessert to bring to the beach, of course! Charlie wanted to help and luckily there was a step that was perfect for a three year old to help with - sprinkling a layer of peanuts and chopped peanut butter cups. Yum. It took great restraint for Charlie not to snack while sprinkling and he *almost* succeeded!
(Charlie loves getting stickers from the grocery store
and putting them in the most obvious of places, as you
can see. At least it was a real sticker and not the
bright orange paid sticker that has ended up smack
dab in the middle of his forehead more than once...)
As he was sprinkling, I was reminded of another time a three year old was given a similar task in my kitchen. I went looking back through my pictures and this was from March 2010. Emanuel would have been almost exactly as old as Charlie is now - maybe just a a week or two difference. He helped me make magic cookie bars while a much younger Charlie napped in his crib. And I recall him having similar issues restraining himself from eating chocolate chips as he sprinkled.
