He had been begging for as long as I can remember. He really wanted to use the knives. No, not those blunt ones. The big sharp ones. The ones Mommy and Daddy use.
I sympathized with him. It is harder to cut with a blunt knife. But I still knew that knives are big and sharp, and they cut. Heck, I have a scar on my hand from a paring knife incident in college.
But he is actually quite good with the little knives we had been giving him, and it seemed silly to wait any longer. So I allowed him to use the "tomato" knife the other day.
That resulted in him wanting to cook Daddy a caprese salad. He was so careful with the knife- I was so impressed.
Then he had to cut a grapefruit. He kept commenting on what a good job he was doing, and I couldn't help but agree! It is so much easier to do a job with the right tools.
