Now we're cookin'!

S1 loves the stove, which wouldn't be such a problem if he wasn't autistic and prone to drop seizures. He also loves to watch cooking shows, the blue flame below the pot and stir whatever he possibly can. So tonight was a special treat for him, getting to help dad make spaghetti. I must say he did better than I expected. It's still cooking but S1 helped by putting salt in the water (hand over hand with dad), putting the lid on the pot of water (by himself), helping dad get the frozen hamburger from the big freezer in the garage, putting it in the microwave and adding the spaghetti to the boiling water, stirring it and getting the lid back on. In the meantime I was washing dishes. It was great to see my two guys working together and the tenderness that Dave has with S1.
