Chef School!

Last week Ethan participated in a tiny-tots chef school just for one week or 5 lessons. The class was for 2 to 5 year olds. Most of the kids were 4 or 5. Ethan was on the younger end of the spectrum and at times you could tell. He enjoyed the cooking and mixing aspects of the classes. He loved the idea that we were going to get messy and get to play with all the ingredients. He however did not like all parts to the class. The first thing that he refused to do each and every day was wear his name-tag. On Monday, Jon wore the tag, and the rest of the week I wore the tag saying Ethan. The next thing that I was surprised that he did not participate in was singing of all the songs that they were taught. He would listen, but would not sing. Now, Ethan loves to sing everywhere he goes, so this was a complete surprise to see how shy he becomes in a new environment.

The first day he went with Jon. They made fruit kabobs!

The second day I took him, and they made butter and cornbread!

The third day Jon & I were both able to take him, and they made teddy bear mix, caterpillars on a log and a teddy bear sandwich.

The fourth day, I took him, and they made pizza dough and then pizza!

The last day they decorated 6 cupcakes, but most of you know that Ethan hates cake. He really did not want to participate in this lesson, so no pictures.

Overall, it was a lot fun! He liked to go and cook like Rata or Remy from Ratatouille. He also loved to tell Jon went we were eating the pizza and cornbread that he made it. It was a great experience!
