Little Chef





When I'm trying to make dinner and Eli runs in wanting me to come play I always ask if he'd like to help cook. Sometimes I'm just trying to finish quickly and hope he'll cringe at the idea of work and run back to play by himself. Most of the time I want him to help and learn. I'd be so proud if he ended up becoming a cook or chef.

Last week it was salad. He went at the already prepared salad with his toddler knife and when it didn't cut he just tore it and put a few pieces in our bowls. After hacking up the avacado I showed him how to cut and scoop it. Future chef or not, I almost burst with pride when he wanted to wash the dishes he used and ended up asking for 3rds on salad at dinner.
