The caption on this is “helping mama fix supper.” ❤️❤️❤️
And it makes it sound like I’m a super great mom, with a super advanced baby.
Which she is.
But…
The backstory is that she was so fussy that I couldn’t get ANYTHING done. I directed her to projects she could do on her own. I got out fun toys she hadn’t played with for a couple weeks. Nothing was working, and we NEEDED supper at some point!
So I plopped her up in a chair at the sink to “help” me wash potatoes and carrots.
I’m not super mom.
This wasn’t a carefully crafted educational opportunity.
It was just me, desperate for some sanity and peace while I chopped a few vegetables, lol.
But you know what? Sometimes life itself is the best way to train your baby for,…well, life itself!
Necessity can be the mother of education and fun.
Someday this will translate to real help for me and then eventually independence for her.
Meanwhile…She looks really cute at the kitchen sink!!
