I want to cook!

Brooks is now into cooking. If I am in the kitchen he thinks that he has to "help." I made the mistake of letting Brooks help me stir the potato soup the other night so now he has to stir something all the time! If I am at the stove he is pulling on my leg, wanting to help. So I have started giving him a pot with a little water in it so that he can "cook." The only problem is that the cabinet with the pots cannot be locked, so now Brooks goes to the cabinet, gets out the pots, and begins his "cooking." He sure is going to make some sweet girl a good husband one day - in about 40 years!
