So I suppose yesterday was very inspiring for Ice Princess because she woke up on a mission. She want to make a "big" batch of cookies. After gathering all the ingredients she was happily measuring and mixing. I started to notice how much "math" cooking really has. And even though when she used to be in school she claimed that she hated math, she was having so much fun with these fractions set before her. When she was finally done cooking all of her chocolate chip cookies she declared, "We have too many. I think I will sell some." So she ran into the bedroom and grabbed an old piece of poster board and a marker. She sat at the kitchen table and decided what to write. "Mom, how does two for a dollar sound?" She asked me, wiggling in her seat. "I think that sounds good, sweetie." After about ten minutes of precise writing she finished with her poster. She then gathered her small table and chair and headed out the door. She set everything up at the end of the driveway and waited for her "costumers". After about ten minutes she ran back in to grab a big glass of ice water because of the intense heat. Stopping just long enough to give me a quick kiss on the cheek. The after twenty minutes she jolted up the stairs to show me her first dollar that she had earned. She was so proud that her plan had worked. And at the end of the day she had made eight dollars. Way to go Ice Princess, follow your bliss.
