Lately we've been trying to have Marielle "help" us in the kitchen. We know that she's now sharing our attention with Harper, so we've been trying to make sure we do some things with her that only bigger girls can do. Plus, the Food Network is always saying that getting your kids involved in the kitchen is a good thing, and Vivian and I believe everything we hear on TV.So we've been breaking out the step ladder for her to use when there's something she can help with and remain relatively safe. Usually she does dishes with one of us, or she watches us chop stuff. I emphasize the word "watch."
On this particular morning she helped me make my coffee. I did all the pouring; she did all the stirring. Since then, she's always asking if I'm going to make coffee in the mornings.

Thought you'd have the Jet Boil going by now.
Very cute pictures!!! Nathan has been all about the "helping" for a little while....whether I want it or not. ;) The step ladder (yaddert as he calls it) is between the cupboard and oven so he just helps himself. Most of the time he brings in his play food and cooks along side me. I think its great that you are getting her involved....make sure she learns where her priorities are in the kitchen (brownies....cookies etc.) :)
