My 23 month old is enthralled by bugs. Any bug will do in a pinch – insects, spiders, snails, etc. However, his absolute favorite would have to be lady bugs. He calls them “be bugs.” He searches out bugs and then has to share his discoveries with all of us. I happened to ask him if he thought he might like a lady bug cake for his birthday. Ever since he periodically reminds me about his “be bug” cake.
The kids wanted to make cookies this afternoon. We decided to make ladybug cookies – chocolate chip cookies with some food coloring (although the older kids were in favor of adding pretzel legs). I have to admit the food coloring doesn’t make them the most appetizing cookies, but my son was thrilled with his “be bug” cookies.
Now I’m off to punch down the dough for our rolls tonight.
