decorating cookies

Ben and I decided to decorate cookies while Landon was taking his nap. Here is how our conversation went.

Ben: we need to count them first
Mom: ok when we are done counting we will put the frosting on

We start decorating the cookies. He is so meticulous. He had to put the smartie on bottom and the M&M directly on top of it. I didn't help at all and went to take a picture at the end but my batteries needed to be recharged...
One time he put the M&M backwords so the letter wasn't showing

Ben: oh no mom its backwords we have to fix it. Here mom clean off his back he is so sad.
Mom:ok,( as I wipe off the frosting)
Ben: he is crying mom you forgot his side and belly oh he is sooooo sad

every time we would use frosting to stick the candy on he would say
Ben: mom you need to put more butter on it
Mom: Ben its frosting not butter
Ben: I told ya its frosting mom
This was repeated quite often.

As he would get a little bit on his finger
Ben: oh no i need to lick this little bit off

He didn't get a drop of frosting on his clothes nor did he have anything over top covering him (remember he is 3!) and every candy was placed with utmost care as to not get any extra frosting on it that made it look 'messy'
It was a fun time. He makes me laugh how particular he is....so don't know where he gets it from... :)
