Sprinkles

E likes to be my sushi helper. This means she tells me which piece to eat next. On Wednesday she went a step further: she picked up each piece and dipped it in the soy sauce and rubbed it in the wasabi for me. When she got distracted, I reached for a piece on my own. She grabbed it out of my fingers and said No, Mama! Wait so I can make it slobbery for you first!
