Kyla has absolutely loved helping in the kitchen lately. She helps me mix and pour ingredients into anything and everything that we make. She always feel so proud of herself for helping and also seems to eat better when she knows that she helped make it. Last week she helped me bake bread in the bread maker and this week when we baked bread again she remembered certain ingredients and steps to baking bread. She was playing with her new shopping cart and pretending to look for the ingredients and pour them into the bread maker. She was saying "Now I need flour, boiling water, yeast...." I was suprised that she actually remembered many of the ingredients that we poured in. Her favorite part of helping me bake bread is when we put a bellybutton (hole) in the flour to pour the yeast into, she just thinks it is so funny.

On Friday we went over to Aunt Carol's house and Kyla helped her frost and decorate a red velvet cake and she thought it was so much fun to decorate it and she loved wearing an apron in the kitchen too. She had a great day with Aunt Carol and Great Grandma Elsie and loved playing with Carol's old kitchen set. It was just like the one that my sister and I had when we were kids.

Kyla has been having a lot of fun also playing with her play kitchen lately and she just got a cute little princess shopping cart to go with it, which makes playing kitchen even more fun!
