This is her drawing of her plan: "4 pieces of wood for the table, daddy will build it for me. a chair, and 10 cookies." Notice the box and the checkmark in it. =)
Being me, I can't just put out a plate and have people grab a cookie...so I bagged two in cellophane baggies and cut out some cute tags with my Cricut Expression. I chose a "summer-y" palm tree.
We baked chocolate chip cookies and put a few sprinkles on top. Two per bag, tied with ric rac and a palm tree tag!
It's never too early to teach good marketing skills! Ha ha. We don't exactly live on a busy street so if we don't sell them all I think I'll take them over to Nana's salon to sell. I think that little cutie pie could sell anything, but I might be a little biased! =)

I have to admit, when she asked me if she could have a stand, my internal response was "no". It just sounds like too much trouble, and lets face it, who's going to actually be doing the work? Me. Thankfully I saw the twinkle in her eye, paused, and said "yes". I realized at that moment that I could become a dream squasher or a dream encourager to my children. It might be just an afternoon making cookies for her to sell tomorrow, but hopefully it will be an investment in her imagination and a memory of her mommy helping her accomplish a goal.
You're an amazing Mom, Jaime. Your kids will soar through life with the support of a Mom who encourages dreaming and then helps them accomplish their dreams.
