Teaching Independence

I've been teaching the older kids the importance of being self-sufficient. They are now doing things on their own that in the past I have been doing for them. A couple of things they now do is pack their own lunches and get their own snacks. This training has rubbed off on Weston and he is now getting snacks on his own....most times without my knowledge. Here he is making turkey sandwiches with Ritz crackers.

Here he is getting himself a hot dog, ketchup, and grapes. There's protien, fat, and carb--a pretty balanced meal! Where has my baby gone?

What about the cheese? That is pretty awesome that he is also becoming self-sufficient.

I need to take a page out of your book. I get caught up in the "it's so much easier to do or keep clean if I do it for them..." routine. I love how proud he looks! His little sandwich looks good. Weston you can come cook Ritz sandwiches for me anytime!
