kitchen help

i made dinner yesterday for a very good friend of mine who just had her 5th baby.
john wanted to help and pulled out the pot he wanted to use and then stood there with the fridge open trying to figure out what he was going to put in it.

he pulled out a bag of shredded cheese and an apple.
i sliced the apple and he diced it to put in the pot.
this kept him happy and busy for quite some time.

i was pleased he came up with a decent combination.
when ella was this age she would come up with some pretty strange concoctions.
fun for her, but sometimes hard to swallow for me.

since i had been cooking on the stove, he also wanted to.
so, then we, or rather, he, cooked up his little snack.

and i have to say it was pretty good.
cooked apples and cheese.
not bad for a 3 year old.

oh, how i love my little sous-chef.
i'll post the recipe i made tomorrow.
