Helping Mommy

The other day Gracie came to me in the kitchen and was looking pretty bored.

“Whatcha doin’ Mommy?”

“Making spaghetti. Want to help?”   “Yesssss!”  “I do it, I do it, all myself.” (her favorite phrase these days)

She knows her drawer in the kitchen with ‘her’ things!

Gracie loves butter. I mean, LOVES butter. Plain Butter.

Yes, she did stick that wad of butter in her mouth. I told you she loves it. See.

Here she is saying “look at my mouth!” Followed by “see Mommy, it does not hurt my tummy.” We had told her if she eats butter it will hurt her tummy. She’s going to prove us wrong on everything!

Followed with laughter from her and this “I’m a stinker, Mommy!”

Back to making spaghetti. She did butter, salt and garlic the bread. She helped me stir the noodles in the water too. What a good helper. What’s better than helping to make spaghetti? Eating it!!

Having her help me that night is something I will never forget. I took the pictures just to have to remember the little things from her. Just her and me in the kitchen laughing and laughing. My sweet little girl!!
