This afternoon Caleb asked me for a snack. It was very close to dinnertime so I told him he could have some peanuts or a drink of water. Of course he didn't like either suggestion and told me it didn't look like dinner was going to be ready for a long time. He was right. At the time I was sitting in my glider, watching the food network, and rocking Gabriella who had a fever and was being very snuggly. I told him if he didn't like the way things were then he could make dinner. And guess what?
He did.
He went right into the kitchen and started setting the table and getting food out. Within about 20 minutes he called us to the table. He's such a sweetheart. Without any help, he'd sliced a new loaf of bread and made each of us peanut butter sandwiches. Also, we each had a large portion of Goldfish crackers, carrot and cucumber slices (they were already pre-cut), and a glass of milk. As we were eating he pointed out the food items and told us where they were on the food pyramid. He really made sure we understood that there are 3 grams of protein in Goldfish crackers.
Now that I know he can do it, I might have him make dinner more often.

That is so cute and sweet and thoughtful.
I didn't see you yesterday. If you were there I apologize for missing you. If you weren't I hope you and the family are doing better soon!
Caleb is a ROCK STAR in the kitchen! Gotta love all that protein in the fishy crackers ;-)
