Counter Elf

Natalie likes to sit on the counter when I'm in the kitchen cooking and I tell her what I'm doing and alot of times I'll let her "help" me cook. Matt calls her the little counter elf.

She is especially good at helping me pour the ingredients for pancakes (our Saturday morning ritual). Some mornings, she just likes to sit up there so she can be next to me before we all go to work / school. Looking at this picture, she may be practicing her gangsta signs as well. :-)
