Since The Girl was sick, I wanted dinner for Valentine's Day to be simple, but kinda fun. So I decided on a picnic style meal with fruits, vegetables, cheeses and crackers. I set The Boy up with a cutting board, a small heart cookie cutter, and a pile of sliced cheese (slice your own or go for the fast option by buying a party tray of sliced cheese). I was happy to see how independent he was with the task and he was so proud to have contributed to the festive meal.
