Chef Claire


Claire is becoming more independent by the day. The day before yesterday, she made her own PB&J. She really, truly made it by herself. I just gave her the ingredients and let her go for it. She spread the PB, spread the jelly, put the pieces of bread together, cut it, and ate the entire sandwich. I'm not sure she has eaten an entire anything in months.

This morning she also buttered her own toast. I put the bread in the toaster and forgot about it. Claire took matters into her own hands. Apparently, she got tired of waiting, so she took the toast out of the toaster (it had cooled off significantly by then), spread butter on it, and was trying to cut it when I came back into the kitchen. Her comment to me? I did it, Mom! Yes, you did. I'm so proud.
