Kitchen Helper

While I spend 1/2 of the time freaking out that he is going to catch Salmonella, I love letting Hazen help cook dinner. I feel like it's a lot smarter to let him help out with food preparation than to just scoot him out of the kitchen and have him watch TV. Last week, we were making something that required pounded chicken tenderloins, so I allowed Hazen to do the pounding. He had a blast! I'm so happy that Hazen is getting to the age where he is good, free help around the house. :)
