My DS1 is 2.5 yrs old and he loves helping me cook... he will eat a lot better if he is involved too./ he tells me things that need to be put on the shopping list as well... i think this is great and hope he gets more involved soon..
Dr Sears has a theory about allowing kids/toddlers access to the fridge/cupbaord when they are hungry - promotoes independence etc. i like this and am doing it with DS1...
I often give him 2 choices in the morning what he would like for dinner - and he chooses...
i love the idea of a whole day when he dictates what he has - will incorprate that later...
bring on the fully child cooked meals and washing up - i dream of that!
