Baking a Pie

Last night Forrest and I were baking a chocolate chip pie for dessert. He loves to help in the kitchen! He decided it is his job to put the mixer down into the bowl and then, after I added a cup of flour, he turned the mixer on all by himself. Unfortunately, he turned it on so it went pretty fast and flour went everywhere! I thought it was funny, but poor Forrest was just stunned and then he started to cry. He was so mad that he was "yucky". He had to wash his hands and brush all the flour off his clothes and get a new chair to stand on (that didn't have flour on it) before he would help again. Then, when it was time to turn the mixer on again, he said "Mommy turn".
