Baking Cookies.

She's been into EVERYTHING. She's quite the independent thing. My mother was visiting a few weeks ago and Ella told her that she wanted to make cookies so my mother went out and and bought cookie cutters. Ella had the attention span to roll out and cut one or two cookies before she's run off to play. Mom would just keep the dough in the fridge and they's make a couple of cookies a day. One afternoon Mom and I were cleaning out my closet and Ella got really quiet. We found her downstairs. She had gone into the fridge and pulled out the dough, gone into the drawer and pulled out the cookie cutters and rolling pin, and gone into the bathroom and pulled out her stool. She was standing at the kitchen counter, had rolled out the cookie dough and was attempting to cut cookies. I was pretty impressed.
