He has thrown himself into it with utter abandon. Whenever I'm cooking, his first inquiry is always, "Can I make it?"
Often, the answer has to be, "No," because he's not quite ready to prepare that particular dish.
The response is almost always, "Well, can I help?"
He's built up quite a repertoire of dishes he can prepare by himself: fried and scrambled eggs, soup, grilled cheese sandwiches, macaroni and cheese.
His interest in cooking has warmed my heart, but a couple of evenings ago, I thought my heart would boil over.
#1 was in the throes of a summer cold: coughs, sniffles, aches, pains. He asked #2 to make him some chicken noodle soup.
Away they went to the kitchen, and #1 waited at the table, chatting with #2 while he puttered away at the stove. Before I knew it, they were both seated at the table, enjoying a steamy bowl of chicken noodle soup with soda crackers.
It was a Campbell's moment.

Very sweet!
That is awesome! My mom just got the girls cooking aprons. Perhaps this will instill in them the love for cooking since I don't love it so much.
Today chicken noodle soup,
Tomorrow the world.
I know, BusyMom! No squabbling for about 20 minutes. Hard to believe!
I'm not really into cooking either, Jamie. Actually, Main Man probably enjoys cooking more than I do. I saw the picture of the aprons your mom gave your girls. Adorable!
Remember, Hippo, this is the son who will be president some day! ;-)
Sounds like he cooks a lot better than I do.
That is PRECIOUS!
They sure can be sweet, eh?? My kids have moments like that also. The other day Jock made pancakes from scratch for Princess because she was craving them for breakfast:) He tore the kitchen apart and made an absolute mess, but it was still priceless:) They were YUMMY too!
Where is the Library Mama?
I blame Mentok!
Susan - I doubt that! But I will say that I think he enjoys it more than I do. :-)
Lowa - Good for Jock! At this stage of the game, I know #2 would love to make pancakes, but I don't think they could be described as yummy (not yet, anyway).
Hippo - I'm fine, Buddy. We've just been away for a couple of days. Thanks for noticing, though. :-)
