Coco decided to follow Caz's lead and start cooking. He took it upon himself to cook for the family tonight. While he couldn't actually cook, (Demi handled that), because of the hot oil, he did all the yeoman's work. He chopped the cabbage, carrots, and onions for the coleslaw. He battered and coated the fish. He separated out the corn tortillas. And in the end we had a great dinner of fish tacos. Really excellent. Of course he set the table too, complete with candles. He was really inspired by his brother. He was so proud of his work.
Now the kids have helped cook and bake before. But not like this. This was start to finish, all about them and their work. It was a really good precedent. This summer, maybe I will let them help tackle the grill. I am sure the male grill gene will naturally take right over.
