Jacob was in charge of snacks for FHE last night so I had him and Owen help me make some Ritz/Rolo bites. I gave each boy a stack of crackers and showed them how to put them on the pan. About halfway through his stack, Jacob decided to take a bite out of one. The look on Owen's face was priceless! His jaw literally dropped and he gasped and looked at me with this shocked, speechless expression. I laughed and told him it was okay if he ate a cracker, too.
Next came the chocolates. The first Rolo Jacob unwrapped went straight into his mouth. Each time he'd unwrap one I could see the wheels turning in his head, should I eat it or put it down? Luckily the caramel slowed him down so he still managed to get some onto the crackers. He just kept saying, "Mmm, this is delicious chocolate, Mommy!!" I kept telling Owen he could eat one, but he was adamant that he cover all the crackers first. Finally at the end he allowed himself to eat one. :)
These boys can make me absolutely batty sometimes, okay, most of the time, but then there are moments like this that make my heart happy.
Awwww I love the pic of them looking in the oven!! It's amazing to me how they both have such different personalities!! Jacob has patience to do the job first, and Owen would rather get the instant pleasure and then finish the job :D
ReplyDeleteI think you have it opposite mom :). These pictures are adorable! This is such a good baking idea to have little boys help with. I wish I could be there baking with you guys! Owen and Jacob make my heart melt. How could they ever drive you crazy? ;)
