My Shadow

Elisha loves to as she says "stir and stir" she always wants to make cookies or muffins.

She is such a big helper and it amazes me how good she is to not be too messy.

She is my little mix master, all I have to do is hand her to spoon and add all the ingredients to the bowl and we are on our way to happiness for both of us!

Stirring and stirring the cookie mix

Eating the cookies, and what great baker can eat one cookie at a time!?

She was so proud of herself and says the cookies are "gooooooodddddd"

patiently watching the cookies bake.

The finished product. I let Elisha "roll" her own cookies and I helped her do the ones with sprinkles. We still ended up with sprinkles everywhere because they are so "pretty" as she says.

After we got done with the cookies we cleaned up the kitchen and Elisha was so helpful with loading the dishwasher and wiping off the counters and eating cookies while she worked.

I told her once we were done that she could take a break and watch a movie while I cleaned the bathrooms, next thing I know my little shadow is in the bathroom with me and helping me clean the pottys.

I have never been a believer in child labor but right now its such a pain to bend over and clean so I say "BRING IT ON!"

She was laughing and I'm so glad I caught it on camera to show her one day that once upon a time she really enjoyed helping me!

After the bathrooms she was on the hunt for other things to clean and ended up cleaning all of her little finger prints off the patio doors.

I'm such a lucky mom to have such a helpful little shadow that not only wants to help and be involved in everything but does it all with a smile.
