My Independent Offspring

Something that makes me happy as a parent is to watch my kids learn how to do something and then  practice doing it well.  Here are a couple of snapshots of their very capable selves:

Eva is so proud to be able to cook her own scrambled eggs! 
Grammy taught her this when she came to visit last month.
 
 
 

Time for a buzz cut! What could possibly go wrong? The point is to get all the hair off anyway, so what does it mtter what it looks like in process?


Thanks, Mom and Dad, for letting me do things myself when I was a kid.  I know that a three-year-old makes a lot more mess cooking lunch than Mommy does, but it means that I get four enthusiastic sous-chefs out of the deal!

I really like this and totally agree! I had the same thoughts this afternoon when I heard, "The smoke alarms gonna go off!" during Andrew's attempts at cooking:)
