We are trying to instill independence and responsibility in Henry by assigning him simple jobs. He recently expressed in interest in making snacks, so we told him that he should be in charge of making toast in our family. We have always made our toast in the oven, using the broiler. We decided that wasn't very kid-friendly, so we took him to Fred Meyer this weekend to select a toaster. Henry decided on a red toaster with a bagel option. We stocked up on different breads (white, wheat, rye and bagels) and toppings (butter, cream cheese, peanut butter, jam). Henry has been making toast all weekend. Yesterday we had a visitor and Henry was quick to offer toast to our guest. Come over soon and have Henry prepare you some hot, buttery toast!
