Chef Clayton

Whenever i say, Clay what do you want to eat for breakfast it's always "oatmeal!"  and when i asked the other day what kind of cookies should we make... "oatmeal".  sounds good.  Clay takes baking very seriously, he has to "do it myself".  He climbs all over the place to get everything we need.  Too bad he has no idea what we need. 

Breaking the eggs, "by myself" i'm pretty sure i didn't let the others do this till they were 5, but then again they didn't kick and scream over the matter either.  Check out the tongue.  That helps him.

One of a kind.
