In my parents' house there was this saying; you have food to eat, a roof over your head, a bed to sleep in and clothes to wear, get off your butt and help out. This applies in my house as well, although sometimes I would rather do things myself.
Both of my little ones like to help out in the kitchen; adding ingredients to a recipe, making bubble mountains in the sink and licking off the beaters. Today Curran tried using the can opener. He couldn't get the can opener to latch onto the can properly, it kept spinning around on him. He figured out that he needed two hands to work the can opener but that he also needed a hand to hold the can itself. I was not to help, apparently he is a big boy and big boys don't need help. This big boy is a smart one. He ended up sitting on the counter, holding the can opener with one hand, spinning the tumbler with the other, and keeping the can steady between his two feet.
Next time I will be in charge of the can opener, because as Alex kindly reminded us. Counters are made for glasses not ... and definitely not stinky feet.
