My current toddler distractions in the kitchen:
1. Peel this orange please
2. Peel the garlic cloves please
3. Peel this banand (although I rarely do this b/c I don't like bananas)
4. Don't peel anything, but wipe down the kitchen table with clean washcloth or wipey.
So I think I need a few more distraction techniques in the kitchen because peeling things is going to get pretty boring for her later. Please let me know if you have any ideas!

you go girl! I remember doing that with each of my kids because they never let me cook unless I was holding them. After the peeling thing gets bored, here's the plan. Annabelle can do pretty much anything but dealing with fire. Jake can set the table, add ingredients. Kate is really good at shaking herbs onto the food and the floor at the same time, unloading the dishwasher, snapping green beans, pouring things into bowls, and really, she's happiest just sitting on top of the counters rather than next to my feet. I don't blame her.
