Nicholas made tea tonight.

When I picked Nicholas up from school today, I asked him what he wanted for tea. He suggested that we make something from his new cook book that he was given from a school field trip to a farm. We looked through it and decided that chicken fingers and parmesan tomatoes were good meals to start with. We took the cook book with us to the grocery store, picked up the ingredients we needed and came home. Nicholas read out the instructions and told me what to get from the cupboards. He crumbled up the soda crakers and measured out the parmesan and herbs. He mixed it all together and coated the chicken strips. He laid them out on the tray and placed them in the preheated oven that he turned on. After he set the timer, he carried on with the tomatoes. Then when they were ready he put them in to cook as well. When the buzzer went off he opened the door and pulled out the trays and served the food. All under my supervision. It was very nice and I would have him make it again.

Why am I telling you all this? Because I am proud of him.
