Today my two year old, Daisy, helped me make lunch. (She is the one with the curly blond hair in this picture.) She was in charge of manning the microwave. I pushed “cook,” “3,” and “5.” Daisy pushed “start.” She was so proud of herself. She looked a me with a huge smile, a little giggle, and clapped for herself. “Yeah for Daisy.”
For lunch we had rice and beans. We like to eat them with tortilla chips. I asked her to carry the tortilla chips to the table. She was surprised that I would ask her to carry them because I had already put them in the dish. She felt so proud of herself walking the tortiall chips to the table. She walked them straight to Daddy. “Yeah for Daisy,” she cheered for herself again. The whole family chimed in. We all clapped for her.
She was so proud of herself today for helping to prepare lunch. She did not do much by adult standards, but for a little person, a two year old, she contributed a great deal.
