Hazel has discovered the joy of helping in the kitchen. When we're cooking, she'll drag a chair up to the counter, wailing "Make! Make!" until she gets herself into position. She loves to stir, chop, and dump ingredients into a bowl, but she gets very upset when we take "her" food away to move on to the next step in the meal prep. I will admit to sometimes giving her a banana to chop or some rice to stir, just so that we can handle the real food and get dinner on the table.
Hazel is definitely her own kid, with a personality that's very distinct from her big sister's, but I think any child growing up in this house would be interested in cooking. Juniper was doing
much the same thing at this age (though she was much older before we discovered these fantastic kid-safe choppers).
