Tuesday evening Hallie and I were in the kitchen making chicken and egg noodles. The chicken had previously been cooked when Anthony baked it over the weekend. So I was taking it and cutting it with a pair of kitchen scissors. Hallie had sprinkled in some chicken seasoning into the water as it was starting to boil. I decided (or she asked, I don't remember which) to let Hallie try her hand at cutting it up. She thought that it was fun! I told her that I had learned how to cut the meat with the scissors with my Apples of Gold program that I had attended earlier this year. I also told her that one day that she would need to learn to cook. She then said "You're a Mom" and "I'm a daughter"... then she said "Teach me to cook". It just came out so funny. She is now 11 1/2 and is showing more and more interest in learning to cook and helping out in the kitchen.
It's no surprise really. James and Nathaniel are both pretty good with cooking and following recipes. I'm glad that they are turning out independent. I think Anthony and I are doing a good job of expectations and they are doing well at meeting them.
