Kitchen Counters

I was reflecting last night about my kids and my kitchen counters.  Both of my children are content to sit on the counters while I prepare food.   When Claire was small she played with toys within reach while I got meals ready.  Now she's old enough to start "helping" and sits on the counter to help and nibble at food while it's being prepared.  Anson now plays on my counter while I prepare food.  And sometimes when Claire sees Anson on the counter she wants to be up there, too.  I may need a larger kitchen.

It's funny the things that end up being memories.  I've gone through our photo library to document some of my counter moments with both of the kids.

Baby Anson - he's going to grow out of that counter space faster than Claire did!

Snitching Food - I don't even care if they eat less dinner because they've eaten raw veggies while I'm cooking.
