Isaac LOVES to help me in the kitchen. I hear, "wait mommy, I will get my chair" every time I reach for a bowl or pull out a spoon. I love his help, because he is soooooo excited to do it. There are of course pros and cons to this. On the con list: There is a bigger mess, things don't always turn out quite so good (Isaac still needs a little work on measuring) and of course Addy. Addy does not like it when Isaac gets to stand on a chair and one she can't reach him and two she doesn't get too. We often try to start our kitchen projects towards the middle of Addy's nap, but Addy doesn't "nap" very well or long so often this is a struggle for all of us. On the pro list: Isaac has been trying new foods since he is the one making them, he LOVES doing it, and he is learning some measuring skills along the way. The biggest pro is the eating new foods. Isaac has not eaten a piece of bread, or biscuit up until about two weeks ago when he made them himself. Now....if I could only get Isaac to eat sandwiches or peanut butter and jelly I would be one happy Mommy. Not sure what it is, but he can not stand the smell or taste of peanut butter or sandwich bread. I must also add that to get him to eat french toast I called it special apple cake (we had sauted apples as a topping) and to get him to eat biscuits I called them cookies. Maybe I shouldn't have admitted to lying but I really wanted him to try something new and he LIKED and ATE them both. Thank you Isaac for being Mommy's special kitchen helper!!!
