My Right Hand Girl

When Hope was younger I used to anxiously await the day we could make cookies together. Now she's old enough and not only loves cookies, she wants to help with everything. Lots of times we have a great time and I love that we get to do that together. She's getting great at breaking the eggs and loves to measure; she's quite the cook. Sometimes though it's a big challenge and tests my patience. She's gotten so confident she doesn't always wait for instructions. The other night we were making calzones and she decided she could handle the garlic powder by herself. Thankfully they weren't as bad as expected. She also loves buttons and can't wait to get to turn on the mixer, chopper or blender (recently before I could get the lid on). I know I'll appreciate all of it when I can turn her lose and she whips up something yummy.
