Little Man has been baking a lot of late, completely of his own accord and without any assistance from me other than the in-and-out of the oven bit.
He decided to make chocolate shortbread biscuits at the weekend.
He looked through all my cookie cutters and chose the mini gingerbread man one.
When they were cool he was very excited about decorating them.
We went to the shops to purchase silver balls and white icing especially for this purpose.
I was expecting that the silver balls would be used to make buttons.
But no.
Not buttons.
The silver balls were used to make ....eh-hem....balls!
Boy baking.
Boy biscuits.
Brilliant.

Thank you for highlighting this post. Boy baking indeed! I have had a rough few days and this boosted my mood. My boy did several horrendous things with clothes pegs and other things as well. He is now a chef. I am quite sure his skills have improved immensely.

Those might just be the best manly gingerbread men I've ever seen! Had to link this to my Mom who will giggle as well! Aren't kids wonderful?

Oh I loooove this!! This is too funny! Being the mamma of a almost 4-year old boy and having grown up with two sisters and no brothers I find this boy-brain insight quite entertaining...seems like exactly the thing our son would do in a few years :-p

That is fabulous! Just fabulous.

Genius!
But then again as a mother of one pretty inventive daughter....
(she uses her daddy's watch as a cyclops glasses, my sanitary napkin for makeshift mask, our new step ladder as her own personal gym.... you got the gist)
The step ladder, we bought for the house, yet it has now a place in the living room as the little one's personal gym. well.. at least she now can say 'up' and 'down'.

So typical of boys! (I have three...!) Very cool that he's baking independently. I always enjoy your posts, and the comments for this one were especially fun to read.

Brilliant! I enjoy your colourful blog but this - if you'll excuse the pun - takes the biscuit!

Oh thank you for the chuckle of the day! I read your blog all the time and have never commented, but this one brought me out of cyber-hiding. I am an art teacher and have experienced first graders who feel it necessary to be very 'gender specific; Lil' B is a very alert guy! I love your use of color and art work. You inspire me. A gifted gal, you are.
Blessings from 'P' from arcoss the sea.
