Muffin man

The other night, Bud announced that he wanted to make muffins. I told him that it was too close to bedtime to make real muffins, and that he'd have to make pretend muffins instead. He agreed, and dashed off to the kitchen, where I heard him rummaging through the cupboards and humming to himself, but I decided to give him some space and see what happened.

"Come see, Mama!" he called after a couple of minutes. I went to the kitchen, where I discovered that he had added all the necessary ingredients to a large mixing bowl:

Then he stirred:

Lined his muffin tins:

"Poured" the batter into the tins (he didn't explain, but I imagine this was prompted by observing that ingredients look different after they've been mixed together):

Put them in the (cold) oven and set the timer:

Then got the oven mitts to take them out when they were done:

Here is the finished product:

C'est bon!
