I haven&#8217;t been able to do hardly anything in the kitchen since without her help. Today she helped me make cornbread muffins to go with the navy bean and ham soup I made for lunch.

The best part was the running commentary: &#8220;First we wash our hands.&#8221; You just have to imagine it with the three-year-old lilting voice. &#8220;Make a hole in the center for the eggs.&#8221; &#8220;Stir, stir, stir.&#8221; &#8220;Scoop it in the holes.&#8221; I hope she doesn&#8217;t outgrow having fun while helping Mom for a long time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Three is such a fun age.
