For the past couple of days I've been a gingerbread man making machine. The Wee Man's school teacher asked if I could make gingerbread men with her class. Without hesitation I agreed and also agreed to make them with the other Reception class too. That's sixty kids in total.
It was hectic, frantic and a whole lot of fun. For two days the entire school smelled yummy with gingerbread and even after I left the school I could still smell it. It must have been clinging to my clothes and hair and yummy scrummy they smelled too.
I couldn't take any pics of the kids making the gingerbread men obviously so I took some pics of the men (and ladies) themselves. All the kids and the teachers gave them a big thumbs up. Not bad for their first taste of wheat free, dairy free, egg free and soya free gingerbread men.
I think in all honesty the teachers were amazed how good they tasted. I think like many adults they hear of the Wee Man's allergies and suspect he "misses out" on a lot of treats that other children get. When in actual fact he gets way better treats than "normal" kids. How many other kids get a regular supply of homemade goodies?
