The Next Betty Crocker?

Lillian LOVES to be given any kind of task to do, or help you with anything that you are doing. So I often ask Lillian to help me fold clothes-she just wraps them up and throws them in the basket, she loves to help me empty the dishwasher, and she really likes to help me cook. I will admit that sometimes I just want to get things done quickly and don't always like for Lillian to help me out. But I have learned that I much rather spend that time with Lillian teaching her, rather than just getting a job done quickly. Tonight Lillian and I decided that instead of reading books before bed, we would bake a cake instead. And as most of you know, Lillian really LOVES cake! She is an excellent little bakers, but she in not always great about getting/keeping all the ingredients in the bowl. Oh well, I always tell Shaun that the dirtier Lillian is at the end of the day the more fun she must have had.

she was a little unsure of the mixer at first...

but had not problem taking over.

the best part of cooking...licking the spoon!

unfortunately Lillian had to go to bed before it was done

but I am sure she will enjoy it just as much tomorrow.
