Spaghetti
One more quick Ellis post.
He loves to be involved. I mean LOVES it. If there's action, he's there. He now helps us unload the dishwasher. If we even so much as crack open the dishwasher door, he runs over and signs "help." There are two meals I can count on for his help if Daddy's working late and can't offer distraction from cooking endeavors, spaghetti and taco salad.
Here we have Ellis cooking the spaghetti sauce. Adding a touch of oregano. He's very serious about it. The stove isn't on, though I had to stop the movie to stop him from messing with the knobs, which he isn't allowed to touch. (You can hear me stomp to get his attention towards the end.) I just like to think that I'm investing now in future skills later.
