My little cook

Audrey loves to help me cook. I have been trying to be a better Mom and let her help me while she wants to! I know when she gets older she won't want to help me with a lot of things she wants to help me with now. Might as well take advantage right?!

Anyways, for those that don't know, I have a really hard time with kids helping me cook. Even my own girls. It's sad I know. But, I have always been that way. If I have them help me bake,decorate or cook, I have a really hard time eating what they made. It's just the germ factor I think. I am usually not a germ freak, but when it comes to cooking I kind of am. So, I am trying to be better at not letting this get to me. It's also not fair to not let Audrey do something she enjoys doing just because I have an issue with it. So, I have been letting her help me with dinners lately. Not only that, but I really do want her to grow up knowing how to cook.

So here are a few pictures of Audrey helping me with dinner. Gracey likes to be there for support! :)

Debbie Murdock said...: I hear ya about having the kids help. I have to sometimes swallow my pride and muster up any patience I have. Or sometimes I'll have them pick what they want to make and back off. Matt is so much better at letting them help more.; January 10, 2012 at 10:38 PM

About Audrey

Audrey was born at 4 pounds 14 ounces. She was just a little one. She might be small but she is a really strong girl. Audrey is a bit stubborn these days. She still likes to do things her way and when it is more convenient for her. She is very independent. We can't force her to do anything because than she won't do it. She is ready when she is ready and that is how it has always been since before she was born. She was born 3 weeks early, but came when she was ready. If she keeps this up, life is going to be hard for us (Brandon and I) when she gets older, it already is and she is only 3. :) We love her so much and would not change her for anything and are so glad she is a part of our family. We can't imagine life without little Miss. She has definitely kept us on our toes!

About Gracey

Oh , our sweet sweet Gracey. I call her Sweet girl because she really is so sweet. She was born a couple of weeks early but gave us a scare at 34 weeks when I started having consistent contractions and was dilated to a 3. Luckily she decided to wait a bit longer. When she decided to come she didn't wait long. I was in labor for 5 hours, almost 3 of which were at home. She made it so easy for me and oddly enough that is what kind of a baby she is. She is easy going and happy and smiles so much!! I love her so much!!!
