Mama's Lil' Helper

Just a couple of days ago, Makayla started to use the word "help" both to ask for it and to offer it. She LOVES to stir and mix with spoons and bowls...whatever she can find in the cabinet. When she saw that I was about to make something in the kitchen, she came to my leg offering "help, help." I couldn't deny such an adorable request. So, Makayla and I made some chocolate peppermint bark. In the making, she sampled semi-sweet chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, and milk chocolate chips. She didn't meet a chip she didn't like. When we were finished melting and stirring, I let her lick the spatula. What a sight...once again, this scene reminded me of me!

Tomorrow, Mimi, Makayla, and I will begin our annual holiday baking. Makayla will be equipped with her own apron and chef's hat. Know that I will be posting about our adventures shortly.
