Dinner Prep

It has been two weeks since I started with a more structured homeschooling daily routine with Caleb. God has been gracious to us and Caleb has not lost his interest yet in this new adventure. Another of our activities is "Dinner Prep" during which time we prepare dinner together. Since he's only 3-1/2, he obviously cannot use the knife or stove (or at least the way it is intended to be used for cooking). So what I have him do these days is washing vegetables and fruits for me. And at dinner time, he would point at the vegetables and tell Andy, "Daddy, I washed the Gai-Lan [or bitter melon or cilantro or whatever veggie is in the dish]."

Though I enjoy Caleb's helpful spirit (or part water-playfulness), I pray that we are, more importantly, instilling in him a servant attitude that he will own one day only because of the Gospel.
