I love to cook. (However, I am not a good cook.)
So, when I am in the kitchen, the twins pull up their chairs, and get right in the middle of what I am doing.
Annoying? Sometimes.
Messy? Always.
Helpful? Occasionally.
Fun? ABSOLUTELY!
Sometimes, I feel like we are in our very own cooking show. I am talking, explaining, measuring, talking some more, running from kid to kid, counter to counter.... but I know they are having a blast and they MUST be learning something right?!!
An added bonus: They almost always eat what they helped me make. And hardly any food ends up on the floor!
I really think ALL children, boys and girls.... need to learn how to take their dirty dishes to the sink and rinse them off. So, no time like the present to start working on that little task!
I challenge you to let your children join you in the kitchen too!
