Along with proudly harvesting vegetables from the garden, Justin has been working on a couple of other skills as well. The first is learning to cook. We've always included him in our food preparations, but the last week or so he has been particularly eager to help with the cutting and cooking. He is becoming more and more skilled with using a knife to slice up vegetables. He also loves to help stir food on the stove and cook scramble eggs (I'm right there the whole time).
Last night he helped me make paella.
The other skill he's been working on is swimming. We go to the pool several times a week. Just yesterday for the very first time he successfully swam underwater all by himself with no floaties! He was so excited and proud, and so are we. I didn't have my camera with me, so here's a shot of him with a basket full of freshly picked cherry tomatoes instead.
