oh, it’s cute…
gage clearly has an interest in cooking. maybe it’s because he watches me so frequently…
he was in the kitchen, where i was heating up some chili for dinner that was previously frozen. he pulled up his little chair and stood on it (i need to get that kid a stool), took the lid off the pot, grabbed the spoon and proceeded to stir it. gently, too. he didn’t spill or splash or slop anything on the stove. i was watching closely.
i’ve noticed that he really pays attention in that arena as well. if i say “careful” he moves slowly, deliberatly and handles everything gingerly. if i say “hot” he moves as carefully, but also makes an obvious effort not to touch the stove or the pots on the stove.
he loves putting pasta in water on the stove — so much so that i’m glad i have a kettle for tea making. sometimes if he wants spaghetti he’ll get a pot out of the cabinet, fill it with water, put it on the stove and come get me. he takes me to the stove and says “please.” i have no doubt that he knows HOW to turn the stove on. he just DOESN’T. i like that.
