In the Kitchen

Elle is a great help in the kitchen and really enjoys pushing a chair up to the counter and getting her hands dirty with Mama. With some help, she can break eggs, but is really skilled at whisking them up. She keeps busy with sweeping the kitchen floor and finding yuckies to throw away in the trash and often reminds me of the boiling pot of whatever on the stove that's hissing and popping while I'm in la-la land at the sink. She is also developing some preference on spices and helps to shake those into the dinner pot. Still a lot of culinary exploration ahead of us so that means more fun in the kitchen to look forward to. This day she was helping me wash strawberries. Of course, the cook always gets a taste and if Mama forgets, Elle clearly says, "Taste, taste!"

Oh yeah, the bummer of it all, we discovered that Elle's allergic to strawberries. :(
