Ali's Dinner Night

We've been trying a new idea in our house... (thanks to my good friend Cassandra for the idea!) We've been taking turns planning and making dinner on different nights. It has made me way less grumpy during the week... knowing that we have a plan, and that I'm not the only one responsible for making sure dinner gets on the table. With this plan we've also been better about sitting down together at the kitchen table talking about our day and sharing our favorite thing that happened that day. The girls laugh hysterically every night when Daddy says his favorite part of his day is "having dinner with my girls".

Tonight was Ali's night to make dinner. She didn't want any help... she wanted it to be a surprise. She set the table, made the dinner, and served it up. (Place setting tags included.)

Tonight's dinner was Eggo waffles with Nutella in the middle (as the main course). Side dishes included applesauce and string cheese. She was so proud of herself! And, I'm proud of her, too!

Way to go Alison! I love the little lady you're becoming.
