Every Friday night we go to Ed and Traci's. Traci cooks wonderful meals every week and feeds a ton of us! No one is allowed in her kitchen. That is except Robby. Traci makes quite the exception for her little man. She always has something set up for him to do. It started up with simple things. She explained all of the tools to him in a manner that blew me away. I don't think I ever could have explained what something as simple as a pair of tongs does in a way that would make him get excited about cooking. Next, he was allowed to grate some cheese and help make her fabulous chili dip. After that he started cutting vegetables and even made his own platter for everybody. This week he cooked rice. It was so cool and he was so proud of himself.
It's not just that Traci gave him use of her kitchen, it's more that she gave him her heart. I don't even know if she has noticed the special bond that has formed between the two of them but I have and I am so grateful for it. She makes Robby feel very special and in our new life that is quite an amazing gift.
Look at the mess he creates!
This is Rob trying to duck out of a picture.
You can't really see but there is rice cooking in that microwave!
