Grace likes to cook. You wouldn’t have guessed, right?
Thanks to her new Learning Tower, it is quicker and easier than ever for Grace to help cook. We received the Learning Tower two weeks ago yesterday, and she has used it every single day since. She loves it.
I love that she can help so easily.
Well, I love it as long as she isn’t deciding to grab handfuls of whatever we’re cooking and toss it around the kitchen. That irritates the heck out of me, actually.
Is there a reason that it shouldn’t irritate me? Is she learning something? I think she’s just being ornery.
I’m going back to Positive Parenting Solutions for an answer on that one.
The right tools make all of the difference.
Back in my days as a Pampered Chef kitchen consultant, I got a mini whisk. I’ve always liked it because I can use it in a small bowl, like when I’m scrambling eggs.
Turns out that mini whisk is just the right size for Gracie.
We made Pumpkin Pie Pancakes, and I was using my big, sturdy whisk to mix the pumpkin into our pancake better. Grace helped by using the little sturdy whisk.
Frankly, she made a huge mess, but it was accidental, so I was okay with it.
She was so proud of herself!
My helping, Mommy!
And that excitement means she’ll be back again tomorrow.

Those pancakes sound delish! I think it’s great that Grace loves to cook with you. 2 out of 3 of my boys enjoy cooking with me. I’m really happy about that!
Thanks for hosting!

Very cute. I’m the same way… would love to let my boy “help” in the kitchen more, but the mess is unbelievable. Especially since he has a tendency to lose interest and run to the couch in the middle of something, spreading destruction and mayhem in his wake.

That is so darling. I love little girls. Totally and completely : )

I love this line of thinking! Kudos to you, Mom! You are quite brave. I am sooo not kitchen adept. To think, you made pancakes, entertained your daughter, captured the memories, and blogged about it! Magnificent!

LB does the same thing when she’s helping me in the kitchen & I honestly think she’s just being ornery. I think the lesson is this: how is Mama going to react? I can choose to get mad or I can choose to laugh and let it go. I’m still working on that one! Hugs!

Do share the recipe! We love anything pumpkin. My kids have always helped in the kitchen and messes were just part of it all. I use to put a shower curtian on the floor and let them sit in the middle with the bowl between their legs…stirring away. Kept them busy for a good long time!

We LOVE our Learning tower too. We have the lime green one and it is so fun. My daughter is a bit clumsy and this makes me feel so much better. She cannot fall off and I can still have fun cooking with her.
I own http://www.ladybugsandlilypads.com and we sell them. We are having a 10% off sale with the coupon code HOLIDAY09 if you would like to share it with your readers.
