Cookies and Tantrums

Yesterday Bruce was kindof monstrous. He threw a tantrum at the library and we had to leave. He melted down at the grocery store. We didn't stay long. On days like this, we unwind by making cookies. He always enjoys dumping in the flour and eating the chocolate chips. So he never has a tantrum. And I enjoy eating cookies. So everyone is happy by the time we're done. I'm not sure about the whole throw tantrum-get cookies strategy, but I get a break. Whew. Afterwards, Bruce always helps with dishes. He rinses, I wash, he rinses again. The other picture is of Scott and Bruce this morning. I have a new camera to play with and they posed for me. They look more and more alike!
