We had the missionaries over for dinner on Sunday. We made brownies, so Kiddo helped me "make a cake." As she actively helped stir, getting a fair amount of brownie mix on her, the table, and every where else, I sighed her name and tried to show her the right way to stir. As I got upset again about how she was doing it, I was reminded that she will only learn the right way with practice, and that's what we're doing, so accept the mess, and the resulting joy, and believe that the brownies will be fine. They were.
