She is now getting quite a list of accomplishments in the kitchen:
- Spooning dry ingredients into a bowl. To start with she could only keep very small quantities on the spoon - most would fall off on the way out of the flour or sugar bag - but now she can spoon as much as we need.
- Beating eggs. I have a little whisk meant for hot chocolate that she uses. I break the eggs into a cup or bowl, she finds the whisk and beats them (sometimes, though not always, to the point where I don't need to finish off the task),
- Pouring, both liquid and dry ingredients.
- Setting out paper cake cases in trays - no need for instructions. Give her the trays and the cases and she's away.
- Getting out and putting away ingredients.
- Washing fruit and vegetables.
- Chopping. Eek. She started with mushrooms, using the knife from her cutlery set. She has moved on, of her own volition, to apples. Smushing might be a better description than chopping, but she is working on it.
Wow! Where has the time gone? I can remember when you brought little cherub home and now sh'es helping in the kitchen! Goodness.
ReplyDeleteGreetings to you all ... and prayers for a blessed day!
Oh, what a sweet little helper!
ReplyDeleteShe. Is. So. Cute.
ReplyDeleteRamona loves to help in the kitchen, too. Isn't it fun?
What fun! That is the most adorable little fist I have ever seen!
ReplyDeleteHow adorable!
ReplyDeleteYou're much braver than I am. I let Bella stir but hold the spoon too so things don't go flying. She holds the measuring cups and spoons for me and dumps them into the bowl but I fill them.
I wonder if I shouldn't pull in a chair. She has a stool but isn't really high enough to properly help.
