Time to Bake!

Today I decided it was time to make a batch of rolled hot dogs and cinnamon rolls. Once the dough was made (I did that while Eli was taking a nap), he got to help in the process. First, he helped me punch down the dough.

After we punched it down, we headed outside to play in the beautiful sunshine. Unfortunately, I totally forgot there was dough raising in the oven (not on - clearly). When we got home, this is what we saw:

OOPS. At this point, we pulled it out and started rolling hot dogs. Eli was such a big help! He was very focused on pinching the dough closed - he did a GREAT job, too.


One the hot dogs were wrapped, we rolled the rest of the dough out to make cinnamon rolls. Eli was very helpful and really like the rolling pin.

Once all this was done, we ate our masterpieces! Yumm- I won't go into detail of his fruit selection, however it included bananas and catchup.

And just to clarify - this IS one of my new favorite pictures of him. Yes, he is a mess, it was a busy day and he's eating catchup with dinner, but look at that smile! It melts my heart.
