Turns out that our little Marissa has quite an interest in baking! As soon as she catches on that I'm up to something in the kitchen (the beep of the preheating the oven, the clanking of the bowls, etc) she immediately runs over, pushes a chair up to the counter, and pops up asking what her job is going to be. She insists that we both wear out aprons, too. It's really cute and I love the extra "help".
Lately, she's getting increasingly brave with her job requests. She used to be content just putting in the vanilla or spooning in the flour. Now she's cracking eggs by herself and yesterday she used the electric mixer for the first time! Of course she's also there to lick the beaters and sample the batter. Maybe she'll go work for the Cake Boss one day!
