I don't get to be ho...you are such a good mama!<br />I don't get to be home with the kids all week but on the weekends I love having O in the kitchen with me. I have been letting him 'make' what ever I am making in his own bowl. Letting go of him 'using' up my precious sugar/flour/salt has been a little hard for me, but I keep telling myself that I need to let it go and let him experiment and learn. It feels so good when I do!Vanessa/NessieNoodlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11956202676065863060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8284789766928854442.post-19197571129559328382011-03-07T21:31:25.917-08:002011-03-07T21:31:25.917-08:00Kyndale...A huge part of our day is also spent tog...Kyndale...A huge part of our day is also spent together in the kitchen. My 5 year old is so helpful, cutting and chopping, and then entertaining us. My 2 year old is all about doing it herself...so I let them use dull knives. Now that she has diabetes, we spend even more of our time in the kitchen, measuring and weighind EVERY little morsel that passes her lips. I really have to trust their abilities, and honour their intentions. Not so easy some days:) Beautiful crocuses...ours are still asleep under a lot of snow!<br />xo Julesa little crafty nesthttp://alittlecraftynest.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8284789766928854442.post-80453722517652300902011-03-07T17:26:35.991-08:002011-03-07T17:26:35.991-08:00Hey Nicola, Me too!

My goal is to have them cooking my meals by the time they're in high school :)<br /><br />Heather, Really, what a great bit of information. That's so cool. We totally have to believe in our kids! They so want our approval!<br /><br />Rachel, A little cringing here and there. He seriously told me to leave the kitchen. I'm like, no sir, buddy! It all turned out alright. I've been working on my cast iron for a few years. I don't use soap of course. I just scrub everything off with a scrubby and hot water and then I heat the pan on the stove to dry. Sometimes, I'll add a few drops of oil to the pan when it's dry. How do you take care of your cast iron?kyndalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09881089642043005142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8284789766928854442.post-21669820074609787292011-03-07T13:40:55.585-08:002011-03-07T13:40:55.585-08:00That is impressive.

I need to have the kids help me on a daily basis - not just when we make the easy stuff. Thanks for the inspiration.Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02970099218868566265noreply@blogger.com
