Motherhood and Beyond

I let Eliana have her first cooking experience.  I was making Katie’s Candy of which I had not made in years until a few weeks ago and again yesterday.  I am sure by the name of the dessert you have know idea what is except for Katie.  It is basically peanut butter bars with chocolate on top.  DELICIOUS if you are having a chocolate craving as I was.  So I put Eliana in her high chair and pulled her into the kitchen with me.  I had to crumble graham crackers.    I put the crackers in a bag and gave them to her for her the “play” with.  I showed her how to squish them up as to which she started laughing and grabbing them.  I let her play with the bag but before I knew it she was trying to eat the bag.  (I wish she would eat more than just the bag and toys!)  Anyway, she got a kick out of hitting them and me helping her crumble them.  Okay, so she did not really help.  But I firmly believe she is learning and hopefully she will enjoy being in the kitchen.  Some days, I love to be in the kitchen, other days…not so much!
