jireh cooking breakfast

I had to laugh this morning when Jireh ask to cook breakfast.  She wanted to make french toast all by herself.  As she began to get out all the ingredients I could not help but giggle as my mind went back to many years  ago when we were in Bible college and living in Arlington, TX.  Jeremy (then 14) came in and ask to have a sandwich.  I told him to make himself one.  He looked at me with a puzzled look and then replied, "I don't know how".  WOW, had I really done EVERYTHING for them!  Fast forward to about the year 2000 when Jonathan was 3.  He was not even tall enough to reach the counter when we would put him on a stool and let him make his own food.  All my little kids love to cook and I am so glad.  We are not going down that "do everything for me" road again!

Jireh at age 8 can cook up quite the french toast!
