Tonight, Mimi & Papa arrived with Papa Murphy's pizza for an evening visit. While the pizza was cooking, the boys played a few rounds of hide-n-seek with them before deciding to give Mimi "lessons" on how to put together their puzzles. During a lesson, you are not allowed to touch the "work" while the "teacher" is giving the lesson. In case you didn't guess, this is how it works at Montessori. You receive a lesson on an item and then you are allowed to choose that item anytime.
After dinner, Connor was pretty excited about making some peanut butter cookies. He did very good about getting all the ingredients out and was excited about putting the ingredients in the bowl. He even cracked the egg with no difficulties. He wasn't excited about mixing - peanut butter is not a good mixing item for a little guy! When asked where he got his great cooking skills from, he said he learned from his daddy! While the cookies were baking, Connor even cleaned up all the dishes. As far as mommy is concerned, more cooks in the family is always a good thing!
