Chocolate Chip Boy

Emerson loves chocolate chips. Like loves loves them. He may or may not have consumed a whole bag of chocolate chips over the past 1.5 months since we've been back in Mississippi. He asks for them before every meal. And after every meal. They're all he wants to eat some days.

Exhibit A -

Bribery during a long flight home

I thought it would be fun to make some chocolate chip cookies together and assumed he would love the cookies because they have chocolate chips in them. Boy, was I wrong.

It certainly started out all right.  I gathered all the ingredients beforehand so his role in the cookie-making would be interactive.  He loved adding the ingredients and watching the dough mix.  He was thoroughly enthralled in the process.  

 But once we came to the chocolate chip part of the dough, he was of no more help to me.  He and the chocolate chip bag were inseparable.

Oh, what fun he had while I kept working.  He enjoyed some of the final product, but didn't even finish one fresh-out-of-the-oven cookie.  Crazy boy.
