Memories:

I found through my kids that cooking is a great way of fun and a powerful tool. Through cooking and being in the kitchen, kids will gain confidence, develop language skills and most of all it is an excellent way to improve their imagination It was Daddy’s birthday. Denny wanted to cook a “special snack” for Daddy’s birthday. We had planned on having Dinner with Daddy. The cooking started, he got a pan and spoon pretending to cook on the stove. He picked all the ingredients himself. He asked for lot of ingredients which was in his mind but when I suggested him what should be done, he followed the directions. Once he had finished his cooking (!), He asked me to call Daddy to come home early, and in the call he said “I just know Daddy, you will love it.” Thinking he’d forget all about it by the time, Daddy reached home. 

With great happiness on his face, he said,” Daddy, Look what I made you”....these are the presents(Denny’s language) ! Though it shaped liked a Crescent, It sure was a great birthday present for Daddy. Daddy took a big bite and Denny loved that Daddy liked it. It was a loooooooooooooooooooooooong snack time though. Kids can be so much fun. They will make mistakes and a mess when cooking in the kitchen, especially the first few times. Allow them to do their best – the cooking experience must be positive, fun and relaxed. Help them clean up. Turn everything they do into a learning experience.
