"How so sweetie?"
"You know, I think you forget that I'm 8."
"Oh, you mean I expect you to do things that are too old for you?"
"NO! You still treat me like a baby. I mean, I'm 8 YEARS OLD! I should be able to cook all by myself for example."
And so, after a short lecture on the dangers of gas, I handed my 8 year old gourmet my wooden spoon and relinquished my kitchen.
Suddenly, a whole world of opportunity has opened up before our eyes. We began with Rice Krispie Treats, but I'm optimistic that in the very near future, Steve and I will be served a full dinner of duck a l'orange followed by creme caramel.
Happy Wordful, not so Wordless and Way-back wednesday!

She looks VERY capable in the kitchen!! I'm guilty of the same thing with my 8 year old. Probably most of us are. :)
That's so sweet!
Have a great Wednesday!

I like your Way Back Wednesday, there is so much I can talk about because I did not blog when she was younger.

I love this. She looks so happy. My five year old is chomping at the bit to cook on her own. She keeps asking, "When?" and I always answer, "When you're eight!" (My standard answer for everything.) What I'm going to do when eight happens, I don't know.
Oh, how fun :) She's so cute. That must be exiting, to share your love for food with her.

Omigosh, Vanessa, she looks so proud! Like you, "8" to me doesn't seem naturally the time to play with fire as it were, but she does look abundantly capable..and happy. :)
Good Mama, You! (Now I will have to follow your lead....)
Thanks so much for playing along with Way Back When-esday, Vanessa!
hahaha... gotta get 'em started young. My mom had me slaving away in the kitchen before I could see over the counter.
