When I Grow Up...

Kids change their minds frequently on what they want to be when they grow up. Heck... I'm still trying to figure it all out.

"When I grow up I want to be a chef." This is what Jacob has told me over the last few weeks.




He often gets out the bowls and pots and pans and ingredients of choice and "creates". His last creation consisted of milk and water and marshmallows. "This is much better than the last one I made Mommy. Here try some," as he poured some in a little mug for me. His last masterpiece was similar except with baking soda and pepper added in. Yum. He enjoys putting together snacks and picnics and lunches. Yesterday he brought me a special treat. A slice of watermelon salted to perfection! Tonight he decided that he would cook me something on his barbeque. He pulled out the plastic food and went to town. Much safer and less mess too!
