Happy Helper

Frequently of late, Brandt has been asking to help me prepare dinner.  I LOVE this.  I always have him do something for me, whether it's preparing salad, or chopping fruit, or stirring something on the stove.  I think these little steps are helping prepare him to be a missionary, or just a capable, self-reliant sort of person.  He's growing up and is willing to take on more responsibility, and that warms my mama heart.
