I have a hard time getting Jackobi to eat breakfast in the morning's unless she in some way helps prepare it. (pour the cereal, pop the toast down etc.) This morning, I was feeling brave, and didn't have anywhere to go for a few hours so decided to take on the challenge of scrambled eggs WITH a 2-year old's help. I was totally preparing myself for at LEAST an hour of cleanup after wards, but to my surprise, Jackobi is a pretty tidy helper!! She cracked the eggs [and even helped pick out the little piece of shell that escaped into the bowl], beat the eggs, and helped stir them in the pan & sprinkle cheese on top! She was very careful and absolutely DELIGHTED to be cooking herself a real breakfast!! She ate EVERY bite and kept telling me 'I did it' and 'Look Mom!' ... so proud! I only hope her desire to help cook and clean continues as she gets older!!
