Gingerbread

We decided to spend a very cold Sunday warm inside making a gingerbread house. We bought the kit about a month ago and Cian had been eagerly awaiting the time when we got to put it together. That morning Cian had been determined to go over to our neighbor's house to tell them that he was going to a birthday party the next day and we kept saying no. He loves the boys across the street. They are a little older so their feelings are not quite as mutual. So in order to try to get him to forget about the chilly trip across the street I mentioned that we could do the gingerbread house. WOW! His eyes lit up and he got so excited. We had a blast putting it all together. It did not take very long. As soon as I said I think we are done, Cian said, "Can we eat it now?". We gave in after a short while. This is how it goes with Cian as I am sure it goes with most four year old boys. You build it.....He wants to break it. So much for enjoying our beautiful...well....very decorated gingerbread house. I love doing crafts with Cian. He is so much fun. Seeing the joy in his eyes is worth a million decorated Gingerbread houses!
