Mommy's little 'helper'

Amelia has been honing her skills as a chef. Practicing, a lot. So of course when I whip out the ole' faithful mixer she is already grabbing a stool to help.

Today's task was making pies for Thanksgiving. What I love most about her is that she will scan the situation, tell me she'll be 'right back', and return with the proper tool. It doesn't matter if it is a kitchen tool or a power tool. She gets out tools I wasn't even aware she had! But, she's always correct.

We began by rolling out the dough.
I kept trying to give her advice, but as you can see by the demanding pointy finger, I was told to 'go away. Lemme alone'.

Mom got her pie dough going, and Amelia got her's going, as well.

It was sure tasty!
It worked out well, 'cause then later she had more time to devote to Sitka.
He is always delighted to have more attention.

Reaping the benefits of what she's sown. A little Thanksgiving delight.
