Cooking with AJ

Cooking with children can be really regrettable and messy but i gave it a try anyway since AJ showed interest in what i was doing. I had him stand in a chair and help me with the little things like putting bread in toaster and stirring pancake batter. I fully enjoyed watching his eyes light up as he did the most simplest things. As he helped i named things which he then repeated and learned. Not only was it helpful but he really was happy to help. Remember NEVER to leave kids unattended in a kitchen not only is it dangerous but you will end up with food on the wall and floor.(Trust me i learned this lesson the hard way!)



*If your a mommy to a younger child try putting them in a swing or a bouncer in the kitchen while you cook and interact with them it will be a special time for you and the baby!

*Breakfast is usually the easiest to prepare so start there. A little goes a long way when it comes to children so include them in little tasks around the house weather it be wiping a table of putting something away they will enjoy it because they have your attention.
