Younger Brother is still at the age of excitement about school. And he takes what he does there very seriously!
So Thursday night he blurted out in a tone of urgency, "Mommy! We have to take cookies for Fireman Joe tomorrow...he's hungry!!!"
His Preschool class has adopted a local fire station. They make cards and send treats and such to the firefighters, and Fireman Joe came to visit his class last week. His teacher suggested food as a treat idea, and from that Younger Brother apparently deducted that firefighters all over the city are going hungry! We must bake them cookies!

I could tell it was super important to him, and he was so eager to help, that I didn't have the heart to send him to bed.He stayed up way past his bedtime helping me put dough balls on a cookie sheet and sprinkle them with sugar.
Let me just point out that 8 to 10 minutes is an eternity to a lightning quick 4yr old boy such as himself!!! He checked the oven about every 30 seconds to see if the cookies were done. I told him he was going to burn his nose so he flipped on the oven light instead...
and waited
and waited
and waited!
Until finally, the moment he had been waiting for...
Ta-Da!Fireman Joe, you won't be going hungry tonight!

It's crazy how fast they grow. He looks like such a big kid in all of these pictures!
What a great idea he had and what a sweet Mommy he has :)
