cookie monster

The day before Valentine's Day I thought it would be fun to make sugar cookies and let Grayson decorate them. He practically lives for the the free sugar cookie at Publix so I figured he would love this! I bought the icing that you can just squeeze on (yep, I'm lazy) and I was 100% positive I had an assortment of fun sprinkles in our cabinet. wrong. Just chocolate ones. But? They were a hit! 

 He had zero interest in the icing. I just had to quickly get it on the cookie before he stole all the sprinkles!

 The kid has a major sweet tooth! G was literally scraping the sprinkles off the cookies to inhale them. Ha!
How's this for a glimpse into the future? I have a feeling I will get this look a lot from about age 12-17. 

It was a fun little activity & I'm sure we will do it again...you know, with more festive decorations. I did learn something new about my child during the cookie decorating: he prefers sugar cookies with just sprinkles. NO ICING. He's a nut. I actually had to finally throw the bag of cookies away because I don't like sugar cookies and he wouldn't eat them!...well, unless you count picking all the tiny sprinkles off. Next up? Cookies with just green sprinkles.
