Our Little Chef

Yesterday I was cutting up some celery for lunch and Ogden decided he needed to help me. I've finally learned, that if he wants to do something, to let him do it. No matter what, he's going to do it anyway. He went to the knife drawer and found a very sharp knife and went to work cutting.

He actually did a pretty good job. I even used the celery he had cut. He was so proud of himself and his accomplishments. The only problem is this is happening quite frequently. Is it normal for a three year-old to be dicing things in the kitchen? If not, you try stopping him.

He would make a great chef or even better a butcher!

It's Ogden with a big sharp knife. What could possibly go wrong?

I'm not a Rada expert, but it looks to me like the knife blade is facing up, not down to the counter. You may have a bigger problem on your hands than you thought.

Very cute and what in the world is abnormal about a 3 year old with a knife? :) My son is particularly partial to the "snip snips" (scissors) so I know where you're coming from. :) Ogden is such a cute boy and I love his hair. :)

Looks like he's following his mom's footsteps in being the number one dicer. No wonder you can cut things so evenly and perfect, you start at age 3!

Cute! He is getting so big, so fast! He really is a good little chopper, isn't he?

He is a crack up!! Isaac also loves cutting things up...although he doesn't have as nice of a mom as Ogden! He is so cute!

Very fun pictures! And what skill! I certainly wouldn't want to be the one to try to take the knife away.

Little Truman Manwaring may need to be even tougher than I thought!

By the way, one of the things I love most about you is how the letters on your fridge are always in perfect alphabetical order followed by the numbers, also in order. You are truly amazing! I'm just happy to have all our letters on the fridge. Lately McKin has decided it's fun to hide them, so I find letters all over the place.

I noticed that as well, Angie! And she used to tease me about my sock drawer!

I'm predicting a very successful career as a ginsu knives salesman.
