Kate has really gotten interested in helping me cook dinner these days. Every evening as I head to the kitchen to start preparing dinner, she follows me into the kitchen and demands, sometimes with a "please", that I get her ladder out so she can help make dinner. While I love that we can spend a few minutes together doing this, it can be frustrating as well. Kate is not the best at being the student. She wants to do it herself which is where the frustration comes in. It's difficult for a 2 1/2 year old to open cans, brown meat, and work over a hot stove. This is where the struggle usually begins and we have a minor melt-down, every time! I will say that as we continue to cook together, she is getting more patient and more willing to let me do the adult work and she handles the easy stuff. Her strength...stirring!

I always pray that they'll get distracted somehow when I start to cook. Sophia ALWAYS wants to help and George just ALWAYS wants to do whatever SHE gets to do.
ENJOY it while you can....because pretty soon there will be TWO of them that want to help!!
