Yeast

Eli LOVES to help me in the kitchen. His favorite phrase is, "I want to help you!" He's so helpful. Really. I don't know how I ever cooked without him. Ha ha! Today he helped me make bread. It was so cute how he got down from the chair he was standing on, got his own measuring cup, and started scooping flour into the bowl. And then it was so cute how he just threw 4 almonds into the bowl and I didn't get one of them out until the end. And then how his little finger kept sneaking into the bowl to eat raw bread dough. Yum yum. And then it was so cute how he cried in misery when I put the lid on to knead it. So cute. Really.
As he was licking a spoon with bread dough, Evelyn says, "Mom, is he going to get bigger and bigger?" I asked her what she meant and she said, "You know, the yeast."
I thought that was so funny! It makes the dough bigger, why not the person eating it?

You have some serious patience letting your son help you with bread. I'm always in a hurry. I should slow down and let the kids help more.

Good luck on my Spring Cleaning contest and thanks for stopping by my blog. :)
