I'm a firm believer in parenting from the kitchen. A good portion of life happens in that square footage and inviting kids into that sacred space is essential. I, for one, cannot separate the smell of onions sauteing, the sound of Dan Rather's voice, and my mother drilling me on my spelling words as she made dinner...with the onions that my brothers would refuse to eat. (That's another story)
Isaac loves to "help" but making kitchen life more "Issac-friendly" has been on my to do list for a while. Thus the start of our visual recipe book: Isaac Can Make Cookies. He figured it right out! And it was perfect for sequencing, motor skills, reading, and speech therapy. A HUGE win. I'm super motivated to add more recipes to our book.
