My Little Kitchen Assistant

I was scrolling through old photos today and came across these gems from when Sophie was three

My Little Kitchen Assistant

. She was absolutely determined to help me bake cookies for Marcus’s birthday, and by ‘help’ I mean create the most adorable chaos you’ve ever seen.

She insisted on wearing her favorite princess dress because ‘pretty girls bake better cookies, Mama.’ The logic was flawless, obviously

Always reaching for something just out of reach

. What I didn’t anticipate was her decision to share everything with baby Biscuit, including half the flour

The evidence of their ‘help’

. Those two have been partners in crime since day one.

Those little helper hands

, I can’t believe how fast she’s grown up. Now she’s 15 and still ‘helping’ in the kitchen, but these days she actually knows what she’s doing. Though she still insists pretty girls bake better cookies. Some things never change.

Time really does fly when you’re having this much fun (and cleaning this much flour off everything).
