My sister started making her eggs when she was 3 years old. She got them out of the refrigerator, scrambled them, and then cooked them. -I never thought much of that until I became a parent and thought about how badly I wanted Jun to stay away from the hot stove AND how much more time it would take to have him "do it himself" than if I (usually Todd) just did myself. -But Jun is finally starting to want to become more independent so he now makes his own eggs. He does a good job at 6 yrs, but my sister made her own eggs at age 3? If I couldn't remember it so clearly I wouldn't believe it was true.
I think it's great! Finley will climb up to the top of the fridge and get her own cereal down, or make her own oatmeal in the microwave...meanwhile, her 13 year old sister would starve before she attempted to feed herself!
