Mommy's Little Helper

Ava is quite the helper. Whether it's brushing her hair, hanging up blinds, or making french toast, she always wants to be there to lend a hand.

Something I like to do is "get the easy ones" and she "gets the hard ones". For example: if I am brushing her hair after a bath, Mommy gets the easy tangles first, then Ava goes back to get the hard ones.

The same thing can be said for making breakfast. I usually make a special breakfast one day each weekend. This past weekend, I was starting to make french toast, and Ava went to get her stool and slid it up right next to me in the kitchen. Then she asked, "Can I get the hard ones, Mommy?"
