kai has been in the kitchen with stefan since he was very little (he likes to remind me that he is a big boy these days!). he has always been curious about what stefan's cooking up in the kitchen.  he knew what a shallot was from the time he was 2 years old.  stefan lets him smell the different herbs and spices he cooks with.  and to this day kai has a very keen palette.

so, it shouldn't have come as a surprise when stefan found him cooking up some eggs this morning!  on his own.  we were still asleep!  stefan walked into the kitchen to find a boy stirring six well mixed eggs in a pan on very low heat with the timer set to eight minutes.   
 
i love that he wants to cook.  perhaps one day i will have both my boys preparing meals for me!
 
update: in august kai spent a few days perfecting his scramble eggs and on august 26th he made the perfect scramble eggs.
