I'm a Big Kid Now!

When you raise a child, you experience many firsts. Today was a first for Logan.

It was about noon and I was at the computer checking emails and whatnot. My daughter was watching one of her favorite shows on TV. Logan wasn't anywhere around to bother me - which is unusual nowadays. I assumed he was in his room playing with his toys (for once) or watching a DVD on his TV.

After about 10 minutes on the computer, my daughter came running up to me, her eyes wide and said "COME LOOK!" I immediately thought "OH no! What happened NOW!?" I went into the kitchen expecting a huge mess. I was afraid to look.

Logan was standing up on his cute little chair with a pink plate that had two hot dogs on it. There was also a big blob of ketchup. Logan had cooked (yes, cooked) his first meal! I can proudly say that Logan cooked his first meal at 2 1/2 (even though he used a microwave). That breaks my daughter's record. She started making meals for herself (sandwiches and hot dogs) a little after she turned 4. My - what a big boy I have!

I was SO proud of him. He didn't burn the hot dog! Although he put a little bit too much ketchup on his plate, he did remarkably well. I was so excited so I took a picture. Isn't he cute!? All excitement put aside - now I have to really watch out for him. Maybe he won't do so well next time.... I'll find out eventually.
