Welcome to our family blog! The hard work of others has finally paid off, and we now have a blog, largely to share the pictures of our littlest one, Avalon! She was born March 10th at 10:58 PM in Grandpa and Grandma Pratt's home (where Lisa and John are staying now). Thanks for visiting!

Avy and Eggs

Avy LOVES to help me in the kitchen.  Surprisingly, one of her favorite things to do is help me crack eggs.  We make eggs for breakfast every few days and it is her “job” to help me crack them.  In fact, if she hears me even say the word “egg” she starts to bang her fist onto her leg and gets all excited.  She does the same thing when Reed brings in the eggs we collect from our chickens.  She can’t get enough of cracking eggs.

At first it was really messy.  (Even worse than this video shows.)  But, now after a month or so she does very well.  I do have to pick out egg shells, but even those are getting fewer.  I love my little helper.  Not bad for a small child under the age of 2.

I made this little movie so that you could see her in action.  It is a bit long (4 min.) so you may or may not want to watch the whole thing.  Her little smile at the end is cute, though.  Grandma and Grandpa will want to see it all!  (Oh, and it does look like it takes a minute to load….)

    Makes me want to go make scrambled eggs for breakfast! She is just too cute!

  2. Jen Said,

    You are so brave and patient. Madeline has wanted to crack eggs for a while, but I haven’t let her until recently, and even then I have to be in a really patient mood :) Avalon’s very cute. I loved the movie.
