I have sometimes let her wash up safe things, such as plastic sieves etc. I must admit at the moment I am really struggling for distraction things, don't know whether it is due to being pregnant or the fact I have to do it with so many things. When I get to the kitchen I am concerned about quantities, times, temps etc, it gets hard to suddenly add in another thing to think about.

She wanted to help clean today, so I gave her a spray bottle of water. She ended up cleaning off all my dates etc on my whiteboard calendar , must remember to move it next time.
