I like having the kids help out in the kitchen. In little ways. I ask them to help me stir ingredients together or pour ingredients in to bowls, all with my help, of course. In reality it slows down the whole process, but I think that it's important that they learn about food and how to prepare it.
Tonight I asked Elise, "Would you like to help me make dinner?"
"I gonna make dinner. Raisins. Crackers."
Oh. Okay. Good thing I'm not very hungry, I guess.
That's weird. Tonight I told Andy I was going to make dinner and he said "raisins. bunny crackers." I guess that's what toddlers eat on Fridays. Actually, we ended up having lasagna and peas and bread.
