Jake can cook!!!

Jake has always said that he likes to cook, but this week he has proved it! I was busy getting Kennedy to bed one night and Jake and I were both starving, so I asked Jake to get dinner started by boiling some water for the pasta. The next thing I know he is asking what we are having and what else he can do. I told him to look in the cookbook at the recipe I wanted to try. When I came downstairs 15 minutes later, I went to take over but Jake insisted he could handle it. Shortly thereafter, Jake served me dinner---yes, served! It was so YUMMY!!! We were both impressed and liked it so well that Jake decided he wanted to cook it again for dinner the next night. He told me it was pretty easy and I told him that pretty much everything I make is. I suggested we rotate cooking---we'll see if it really happens, but it's a great idea. Jake also decided we needed to make cookies to take to some friends and once again I was busy with Kennedy (story of my life), so Jake got out the mixer and made cookies! They were excellent---I think they tasted better than when I make them, or maybe it was just that I didn't have to put in any effort that made them taste so great! Wait, I take that back---I did put in some effort; I got stuck with half of the dishes and baking the batches after the first one was done. Anyways, Jake is a great cook and I am enjoying his efforts!!
