Will decided today that he wanted to make lunch for him and Sean. He's done this before, he's gotten pretty good at making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for the two of them. I love encouraging this kid to do his thing in the kitchen with minimal help, but teaching him the "right" way is important too. Like cleanup...putting things back where they belong (jelly in the fridge instead of the cabinet, etc.) and wiping the peanut butter off the counter.
Today's lunch, courtesy of Will: peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, with fruit salad. He did everything except cut up the apple...I did that. He found out that butter knives don't cut everything! I had him help me cut up the apple, I taught him that you need a cutting board, and then slowly slowly...with my hand over his, we cut the apple into slices. Then I cut it into chunks and he tossed them into the salad. Both kids devoured every bite!
