I am not a fan of messes, but I am a fan of teaching kids to do things on their own. These don’t always go hand in hand. For instance, I love that my kids can cook some of their lunches and breakfasts on their own, but I don’t always love the mess they leave behind. This is why “Fried Egg Friday” was instituted at our house – we have cereal all other weekday mornings, but on Fridays I let them make a fried egg (or whatever egg they want). Even then we had egg whites strewn from the bowl to the trash can or all over the counter. THEN Chris came home from the grocery store with this:
I love it! You just shake it up and pour. The consistency is good to go for scrambled eggs. They are even thick so Caleb has now mastered omelets on his own! He is loving this new independence and I’m loving the lack of mess left behind!
