Mommy's Little Helper!

Gavin is such a big helper! He loves to be involved whenever I am cooking and cleaning. He loves to help dust, vacuum, sort and do laundry. He loves to check out what is in the oven or on the stove. He even loves to help stir and see what the kitchen aid is doing. I try to let him help whenever possible because I am hoping that he will continue to show the interest in being involved.

Right now, it is a bit harder since he doesn't quite understand the concept of stirring and not flinging food everywhere in the process. So sometimes I just hand him his own whisk, spoon, spatula or measuring cup or spoon depending on what we are doing. Sometimes I let him help by holding on to the spoon I am stirring with too. He really loves that. Whenever I walk into the kitchen to cook or bake anything, he is right there with me wanting (and demanding) to help!

Today, Scott was around to capture how excited he is when he gets to hold on to the spoon as we stir. He took some video too, but I am just going to share the pictures for now.



He is such a good boy! I am so lucky to have a kid that was to help, especially since we have had a lot to do the last couple of days!
