1½ Men Cooking
Our son and Chris make dinner tonight. Robin took our daughter to
swimming lessons, which left Chris nominally in charge of
getting dinner ready. With a three year old boy in the middle of
everything, Chris never had a chance.

Our son thoroughly enjoyed himself - he's becoming quite the sous-chef at three. Mostly he was confined to stirring "gently", but he still managed to get covered with flour, salt and brown sugar before the girls returned.
Despite having the grandest of times at swimming lessons, our daughter was bitterly disappointed that she didn't get to help out with dinner. Chocolate chip pancakes soothe her somewhat, but she's quite insistent that pancakes not be made again without her.
