Gavin has become interested in watching me cook. He has started pulling up a chair to watch almost every time I'm in the kitchen lately. I let him help here and there, but I have to admit it tries my patience. Example: I let him shake cinnamon into pancake batter recently. He ended up touching the shaker to the batter, creating more of a mess for me to clean up. The last couple days Gavin has been sick and I've been making him keep his hands off the food, which he isn't too happy about.
