Robbie hard at work

11 year olds are great.  They want to try new things and need minimal supervision.  He helped with painting inside the cupboards and then made a casserole, it was delicioso.  Not only does he help us, but he fends off a relentlessly high maintenance little brother.

I remember my friend sharing similar excitement when their children were around 10 or 11. The hard slog we put in at the early age does eventually pay off. You'll get there.
