My oldest helps out a bit in the kitchen but the little one usually plays. I let her pull all the tupperware out, bang on things with spoons, or play with her play food. It does create more work but a hot meal for my family is worth it. Besides, she will always feel welcome in the kitchen. I never make my children leave the kitchen unless I am opening the stove. Some days the girls end up having a little something to eat before the meal to allow me to finish up preparations.

I think my parents just chucked me in that bouncy chair thing that hangs in the doorway, I can’t remember the name of it, and called it a day. I was hopping around like a champ but couldn’t get far enough to actually mess with anything. I think maybe nobody uses those anymore. And anyway I guess you can only use those up until a certain age. After that, I guess my parents just suffered with me being a little terror underfoot all the time. Which is probably what I’ll have to do if I have a kid, unless I can pawn him or her off on my husband when I need to concentrate.

I could not have survived without two things when my girls were little: pack n play (play pen), walker, and an entire cabinent full of plastic measuring cups, and storage containers – the ONLY cabinent that was not equipped with childproof latches. And let’s not forget the power of cheerios and kix. My kids spent many an hour where I was close by cooking and watching them chow down/make a mess in their high chair.

Would you look at that face? Marvelous. And full of the devil, too.
We went through stages….first high chair entertainment, then play pen entertainment (does anyone even use playpens anymore?), then kitchen cupboard entertainment ( a little messier).

I love this easy dinner!

When my kids were high chair age I put them in their high chair and brought it next to me in the kitchen. Since it was on wheels I could move them around to wherever I was. I gave them crayons/markers and paper or playdough to stay busy. Other times I just gave them their dinner while I made everyone else’s. I’m kind of sad we’re out of the high chair days. Now they just fight and whine while I’m cooking, which I feel like is kind of conditioning me to not enjoy cooking as much since it’s become a negative experience whenever I’m the only parent home. They use that as the opportunity to be totally obnoxious.

When Madeline napped I could at least get all the prep work done ahead of time so the dinner prep wasn’t as involved/messy…but like all things eventually do, naptime has pretty much ended here.

This dinner looks yummy. I’m definitely going to have to start making more simple dishes.

I can’t believe what a big girl Leah is now – such a cutie! I usually set up my 7mo in his high chair in the kitchen with me with a toy (which I fetch numerous times). For my 2yo, she enjoys some Dora on the DVR. I try to finish up before I start hearing the first bars of “We did it!”

How awesomely simple is this recipe! Although, I’m pretty surprised there’s no butter in it since it’s a Paula Deen recipe.

What, you mean markers don’t count as lipstick? Leah’s adorable!

When I was her age, my favorite spot in the kitchen was in the tupperware cabinet. I would play there while mom cooked, totally happy.

I’m a big believer that food doesn’t have to take hours to be great!

This looks delicious for a great weeknight meal! I don’t have little ones anymore, but I certainly appreciate an easy meal.
Leah looks quite proud of herself! She’s a litle doll.

I love the simplicity of that recipe! I can always use something like that for the crazy nights we have during the various sports seasons. My boys are closer to your son’s age, so I don’t have to entertain them all that much during dinner… unless it’s the question “what can I do?”. Sometimes I have them help, or since it’s summer I torture them with the Summer Bridge workbooks… that will sometimes deter them from asking me that question!
