Baking with a toddler
















I am pretty proud of myself for this idea...... Its sort of a homemade "learning tower" - if you don't know what that is goggle it! Anyways Keira stood up here next to me while I made banana bread. She played with my spices basket and my measuring cups basket and let me bake in piece instead on hanging on my legs and whining....
She ohhhed and ahhed over the mixer that was right next to her mashing bananas and mixing the batter and only tried to stick her finger in it about 6 times. After about 20 min up here she figured out that she could climb on the counter and open the cabinets and help herself to some snacks. At that point I had to take her down. But hey, the banana bread is made. Mission accomplished.

That is clever! My Grandmother used to do the same thing to me when I was about the same age as Keira. We have lots of pictures of me doing that! haha!
