Dinner His Way, Right Away

Last night my husband and I experienced another milestone in our little guy's life. I was cooking dinner. The menu consisted of roasted red bell peppers stuffed with ground beef, broccoli and cheese couscous, and black beans with cilantro. But the one thing I didn't expect to be on the menu was a peanut butter sandwich made by two little hands.

Mason pulled out the Peter Pan and his snake spoon and made his first meal all by himself.

Never did he ask me for help. As a matter of fact, I didn't even know he was THAT hungry. I usually have to beg him to eat. But last night I saw a glimpse of what I hope he'll become as a man - a man that feeds himself if he's hungry. That's a BEAUTIFUL thing!

As I was cleaning, I made a little discovery. All the times I've spent in the kitchen, I never realized I had a student observing me. What can we say? Sometimes you just can't wait for dinner to be served, no matter who's cooking. I didn't think I'd see this day come so soon, but we're so proud of him. He's one step closer to being all grown up.
