On most Friday nights we eat homemade pizza for dinner. A favorite family tradition is often accompanied by one child or another wanting to help.Liam has joined in the group of wanting to help. This past Friday he kept bugging me...yes, I should joyfully let them help me in the kitchen, but I just want to get the pizza in the oven and be out of the kitchen quickly....a helper slows things down drastically.
Yet, I'm really glad I relented and let him "hep" me. I had a great time with him (until he splattered sauce all over the place :)Even then, he had fun spreading cheese and putting the peperoni's on top.
As for me, I loved the smiles and constant chatter we shared....and we still ate dinner in a reasonable amount to time.
I love that he wants to, "hep"...
ReplyDeleteYou are an awesome mom. Sometimes it is so tempting to me to want to say, "Be gone!!!" to all of my kids so I can get the job done more quickly (without splatter ☺) but it is more important to do things together. Thanks for your great example.
