Helper Jr.

I think I've posted before about how much Avery LOVES to help me in the kitchen. She is always wanting to help with dinner or wanting to make some tasty treat to enjoy and share with others. I'm really trying to encourage that side of her...to make her feel very helpful and needed in the kitchen. We all know I can take all the help I can get these days...I think I should train her how to clean up after herself too...hmm, there's a thought!!! Anyway, this particular day Avery was helping me make some banana bread. She had left the kitchen for a minute to get something and Riley took the opportunity to climb up on the step stool and take a peak herself. She stood up there for about 15 minutes playing with spoons and trying her best to "mix" stuff in the bowl. (Poor Avery wasn't aloud up on the stool for a little while because I had to take pictures and video of sweet Riley trying to be a helper too. I guess this means it might be time to get another stool soon!) Can you tell from these pictures that Riley thinks she is "big stuff"? haha Move over Mommy, your little girls are going to show you a thing or two!!!

Isn't it nice to have some help?! I think it is great that you are teaching your girls so much about being a wife and mommy at such a young age. They will cherish these memories of "helping" mommy in the kitchen!:)
