I feel your ache and the urgency you speak of, that breaks my heart that you feel it daily and maybe just maybe that is something we can give thanks for - that everyday you are their mom and you are teaching them - expanding your moments.<br /><br />You honestly make me stop and soak up the moments more - love you dear girl - love you!<br /><br />xoTiffanyTiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06908504833550812024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795026946181152215.post-18036172757255155872012-08-30T15:17:16.722-05:002012-08-30T15:17:16.722-05:00oh vicky....

Sandwiches.<br />, hard boiled eggs. fruit.<br />He gets along and is happy.<br />Soups are especially good frozen or canned. Lots of plastic bags but they do the job. I tell him not to cook in the plastic as plastic bleeds and is not good for him but if he puts them in glass bowls it's fine.<br />I have not been lucky to get him interested in cooking but occasionally he will make himself a nice steak.<br />When he says Mom I'm hungry at midnight, I tell him go make something yourself and he retorts, so you don't want to do your job.lol<br />I say nope. Not at midnight. You want meals you have to come at meal time.<br />Comes a time to be tough lol<br />But I was never worried he would not be able to cook if the time ever came when he had to. Kids are smart today.Schools teach them many things and it's not like there is no where to get info from.<br />You have to trust in their abilities and instincts.<br />You are doing the right thing in letting them experiment.<br />When I was a kid, I always thought making my parents breakfast in bed was a big deal.I loved to treat them. Even when my food tasted horrible, my parents would eat it and compliment me.I made crepes,toast, fried eggs,cereal,porridge. The rest of the day my Mom cooked lol<br /><br /><br /><br />A Lady's Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11973102350411443282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795026946181152215.post-57744336464970729622012-08-30T12:22:01.455-05:002012-08-30T12:22:01.455-05:00Hey, I've scraped my knuckles on the darn grat...<br /> Hey, I've scraped my knuckles on the darn grater... but I never have made zucchini muffins with my mom... keep making those memories and sharing knowledge.. the seeds that you sow today will bloom down the road.. even scraped knuckles :-) ... but especially the patience you show and the time together.

We sometimes faulter for words that they can understand, and sometimes say the wrong word that to them means something initirely different. <br /><br />It is very hard to teach children the things we won't them to learn, but I admire you for allowing them to help And to bend with them as they grow.<br /><br />Hugs to all of you in these difficult days!
