Chef Gavin

Gavin loves to be a "helper." He helps me push the stroller, helps me with laundry, helps Grandma Cordes and Daddy find their shoes, etc. Lately, Gavin has been helping us in the kitchen. We have been giving him tasks that are relatively harmless, like putting the paper cups in a muffin tin:

The other day he helped Francis make a marinade:

Pouring the olive oil:

Measuring the soy sauce:

And stirring:

Gavin was very pleased with himself. He doesn't always know what he wants - that's part of being two years old - but if we ask him to help us with a task, he is usually pleased as punch!
