So Wednesday I busted Reed yet again for having screen time on his iPod Touch in his room when he wasn't supposed to be (see http://nafspac.blogspot.com/2015/06/i-hate-being-bad-guy.html and http://nafspac.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-results.html). We had to institute a new rule, one that's I'm sure miserable for him, but seems like the only logical next step....no more iPod in his room. He took the punishment gracefully. We told him he could earn it back by being responsible with his screen time in the future.
And that brings us to last night. I didn't sleep well and so was lounging on the couch when I got home form work. Reed consulted the week's menu plan (posted on the side of the fridge) and saw it was tortellini soup (it's not so much a soup as it is a lazy person's dinner plan....chicken stock for the broth, and frozen cheese tortellini). Then he proceeded to make and serve dinner - tortellini soup, caesar salad (from a bag, but still!) and cheesy bread. He even put it on plates/bowls for each of us and set it on the table.
First time a kid ever totally made dinner for the family -- a monumental and terrific occasion!
