I've been trying really hard lately to involve Jordan in the kitchen. Normally I am trying to find other activities to keep her entertained while I cook and bake but I decided it's time to include her in and she has been enjoying it immensely. I was making homemade rolls the other day (which are awesome by the way! I am now expected to bring rolls to Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner every year) and brought out the stool for Jordan to sit at. I gave her a piece of dough and the roller and off she went, rolling and poking away!
She was "rolling in the dough" for quite some time before she finally realized "I can eat this!" After that, there was no stopping her!
She kept eating, and eating and eating dough. Luckily she was only taking teeny tiny bites! She still had time between bites to squeeze in some goofy poses for the camera.
I'm glad that she shares a love of baking with me! Even if its only because she gets to taste the nummy food during the process! I love that this can be our special time together and she can be learning and I can be accomplishing an important job all at the same time. I love showing her that every day tasks and chores can be fun. I love when she discovers that I'm in the kitchen and runs off to grab the stool so she can be a part of what I'm doing. I love this kid!
