Samuel Lagasse

One of Sam's favorite activities is cooking while I'm working in the kitchen. I pile a miscellaneous assortment of pans and utensils in front of him and he takes over. He chatters happily, pouring water from one pan to the other and pretending to add the sealed ingredients I've given to him.

Really, he loves to cook. I don't know why he became so solemn when I brought out the camera. Perhaps he felt he needed to lend an air of seriousness to his work, as it was for posterity.

(Honestly. Doesn't he look like I'm forcing him to do this? Especially in the last picture. He truly loves it - I might have to try pictures when he isn't looking.)
