Last summer Reed did a lot of baking. This fall he has shown an interest in making dinner in the evenings. This is helping his confidence and is a fun thing that he and his Mom do together. As a Freshman in High School it's funny to see him trying to cook while wearing his headphones and getting distracted by his phone. It's interesting to see him learning to cook since he doesn't seem altogether interested in learning to cook, he just sort of goes along with what Mom tells him to do, but he can't help himself in contradicting his Mom. "I can't touch the cheese grater, it has sharpies on it!" I love it when he helps cook dinner due to the friendly banter that comes out of the kitchen.
I remember being his age and asking for help with things. Then when I realized I was wrong I sort of played dumber and dumber. He does the exact same thing. Mom shows him how to take apart the spinning cheese grater and he sort of grabs it even more incorrectly and plays dumb. I don't think he knows he's doing it. Funny.
It must be noted (by Mom) that he pretty much only offers to make dinner on odd days, because that means he won't have to do the dishes after. Not sure it's a fair trade, but we'll take it. Hopefully some of the things he's learning are sinking in.
