Cooking with Mom

I've been trying to find different ways to keep Hannah occupied in the evenings, other than just playing with the same old toys every night.  She's not to the point where she'll play by herself in another room while I try to get done the things I need to do.  She's got to be attached to me at all times.  So tonight after dinner, I put a blanket down on the kitchen floor and let her help me mix up a batch of Chex Party Mix.  She loves to "stir" things!  I gave her her own bowl, spoons, and measuring cups.  I think she was eating the Chex Mix more than she helped make it.  But it was neat to see her stay occupied for a good 30 minutes on one task!  That's proof that her attention span is growing...FINALLY!
