Addie is becoming increasingly keen to help with things like cooking and wanting to learn new skills. That's challenging for me, but when it's not frustrating, it's fun to have her helping, and a great chance for her to be introduced to following instructions (recipe), motor skills like mixing and chopping, awareness of health and safety and nutrition.
This weekend Addie watched as I drilled holes in a bin to make compost. She ran away a lot as the drill was too noisy (and I think overwhelming) for her, but she helped put in all the food scraps and we discussed it becoming plant food and how the bin is going to be like our tummy and break down the food.
