Lila in the Kitchen!

Lila loves playing in her mini kitchen!  She often mimics what I'm doing, whether it's washing vegetables in a colander or cutting fruit, Lila does the same over in her little kitchen.  Recently we've been using ideas from books to cook or make projects together. (As you know, Lila is ready to go by 6am sharp!) My friend Kellie sent her a book about Pinkalicious making and selling lemonade. We made the same lemonade, but turned them into popsicles. Lila was so helpful, wanting to do it all "by myself!"

In NY, Lila made eggs and pancakes with Amma so often, she again felt like she could do it "all by myself!" Here she is making her special recipe, with just a bit of guidance from Amma.

Baking is another new specialty! Grandma Debby is a pro baker, and Lila was excited to help bake (and eat!) cupcakes. Here she is with Tori, taking her mixing job very seriously. So cute!
