Teaching the kid how to cook ( And some from his awesome birthday party)

Well I think its about time he picks it up, he is 5 now right. Time to do some more chores. Haha

He is turning into a very in depended little man so I figured why not, with me right beside him, making sure he does not hurt him self he did pretty well. Altho after only 5 minutes he asked if it was done, and if he could be done cooking.

But he stayed with me until I told him.

I think it's important to teach kids about food early, so they can make choices on what they want to eat. And why. I teach Jonas what is in the different kind of foods. Nutrition, and he also asked a lot of questions around food. Some people worry a bit about that, but for most of the time I am not. I don't want him to be concerned about everything that he eats, and I want him to know that we will not feed him bad food, or food that is bad for his body as he would but it. Some times I really miss being in Canada where most of our family eats like us, or at least are more understanding of our situation and choices.

Here some supervision from Tante Tina as well.

Made chicken with ginger, turmeric, and red onions.

Then I cut up asparagus to small pieces, but left the tops to the side. Green and yellow pepper and sweet potatoes. All cut nice and small.

Mix it all together. And let it shimmer.

Then because of it's clean ingredients I also give it to baby. He is no longer a fan of pureed foods. He now wants to eat it all him self with his hands. And he almost get's mad when I feed him.

Also got Jonas to do some dished today. Two easy pots that I had just boiled veggies in

What a good big boy.

Yesterday we had a barn birthday party for him. Tina had done such an amazing job making it awesome.

Even had Jonas Dollars that the kids got handed out in the "bank" that they could use to buy hot dogs. There was cake and a big treasure hunt. And lots of sledding. Nice and sunny day (bit windy) but kids and adults all enjoyed a wonderful day.
