The theme in our home this month: mess-making.
I’ve realized 60 seconds with the vacuum is always worth her satisfaction, her joy…not to mention my own in seeing her do something so grown-up. I still can’t believe my girl…my tiny little baby…is big enough to do what she does with me now. I dreamed of these days and didn’t realize they’d creep up on me this fast.
Today, we made pumpkin bread, her in her little apron and me in mine.
I started by letting her stir and drop in pre-measured teaspoons but realized her independence was craving more. So, I let her have her own bowl filled with a little flour and some spices. For the next half hour, she was in heaven, stirring, sprinkling, shoveling heaps of flour onto the floor.
…and I couldn’t stop smiling.
This kid thing? This having a daughter thing? So. Much. Fun. She’s my friend…my little buddy, and hanging out with her all day is so incredibly fulfilling.
love her.

wow, her pumpkin bread turned out so good! Me thinks I hear the food network calling you to do a kids special!
Nope there is nothing cuter than a 29 inch person in an apron! You are right:) And that pumpkin bread looks Delicious! She is just precious Kelle! I love how much fun you have with her each day. That is what it is all about!
you are such an amazing mom.
it’s hard for me to let go of the mess…and remember that – if you don’t let ’em try it…they can’t get better at it –
thanks for reminding me.
i’m gonna put more than cherrios in their bowls…AND let them add spices this weekend. 🙂
Thanks for inspiring me to be more laid back Kelle. Messes and I don’t really go together too well. You are a great mom.
That bread is making my mouth water!
yay kelle you are looking into the camera!
