Helping in the kitchen

I enjoy letting Ajax help me in the kitchen.  It’s a fun time together.   Of course his idea of helping and my idea of helping are vastly different, but nonetheless I like it.  I usually sit him up on the counter with me and give him a wooden spoon.  He then helps me stir or acts as a general taste tester.

Today Dave demanded a chocolate cake, so Ajax and I whipped up a delicious confection.  We made a double layer cake, it came out a little lopsided, but it was the first I’d ever made and I was pretty darn proud of it.   Ajax was also pretty proud that he discovered he could lick the wooden spoons and then cram them into the toaster.  What a little helper (Don’t worry as a precaution I always unplug the toaster when he’s helping, lol).

I also stopped by a garage sale and picked up this little rocking toy for a buck.  Ajax had a ton of fun riding it all over the living room and then put his teddy bear on it and pushed his bear all over.
