*GASP* They cut their own steak!!!

When you have 3 kids, dinnertime is busy - VERY busy - Mom and Dad making sure the kids are okay before they can eat.

And then that day comes....

They BOTH cut their own steak! They don't cut themselves. They don't cut each other. They cut their own steak!!!! It's a rite of passage!

And now it's Greg and Amy's turn live the change - and here's proof...


Look at that!! Gregory and Alex attacking their steak! It's enough to make you cry.

There is now a possibility (a possibility, I say) that Greg and Amy MAY experience that vaguely-remembered - HOT FOOD for dinner! I know it's hard to imagine. After a certain number of years, you get used to eating your dinner fairly cool. Hot food is just a foggy memory. And then suddenly - WHAM - the kids are cutting their own meat and the memories become reality once again (kind of like labor pains, but much more pleasant)!

Matthew is still just 4-years-old, but one child's dinner is barely a challenge for two healthy adults.

Time marches on and it's one more step toward independence - one more step toward adulthood.

And so it goes... and so it goes.
