Helping Mummy

No matter what I am trying to do, Nora is always "helping Mummy". I wish I was more creative about finding ways that she can actually help instead of just pretending to. The other day I was trying to make a pie crust (actually, this is really one of the most stressful activities of my life- sad, but true) and Nora was so determined to help that she was stuffing spinach for the quiesh into an empty grapefruit rind left over from snack and periodically bringing me random cans from the pantry. I was about to loose my mind! Then I had the bright idea to get her tiny rolling pin and really let her help flatten out the crust. She was thrilled!
