Lucky for me, Elisa likes hanging out in the kitchen while I putter around on many afternoons. For my real baking, I prefer solitude--usually during her morning nap--but it's nice to have a little helper when I'm washing up dishes or making a quick meal. Today I gave her a few cups, a sponge, some water and a tupperware container to make a nice mess. She wasn't sure whether she wanted to drink the water or squeeze it out of the sponge again and again. It's easy to want to control her movements sometimes especially when it's so easy to guide her, but I am working on letting her just experiment and find her own way. Besides, if she pours a whole cup of water on the floor, well, what's the big deal?
