The Nutcracker
One weekend afternoon Katrina got busy in the kitchen and baked up a storm. Jack was very excited at this show of domestic goddess-ness, until he realised it was all bound for the freezer, but at one point the recipe called for nuts so Katrina prevailed upon Jack to crack some nuts for her.
We don't have a nutcracker, so Jack bravely brought his hammer into the kitchen and did it the old fashioned way. In his usual Mr Nosey fashion, Guy came over and asked "what are you doing Daddy?" When he found out what Jack was up to, he insisted on helping.
There you go - the definiton of trust - holding the nut while your 2 year old wields the hammer.....
Guy was so thrilled with this that he insisted on cracking the whole bag and ate a good 1/3 of them as he went (he is so his father's son!). As it was his first nut orgy, we watched anxiously for a few hours but no anaphlactic shock, so guess that Grandad Pat's love of nuts has been passed on.
