That's true. Sometimes I get tired of "strange", and skim or skip some
posts. Other times I find them entertaining.

My wife does a lot of cooking with kids. She finds it very rewarding,
although it requires some patience.

If your son is mostly stuck on sweets, cupcakes can be fun. Many kids
really get into decorating. Have an assortment of candies and such for
decorating. Cookies can be decorated also. An apple crisp sounds good
to me. Pies require a lot more manual dexterity, so I don't think
that's a good starter. If he isn't ready for a knife, have him peel the
apples and then watch while you slice them.

Pizza is another good one for kids, especially the decorating. Make
several small ones so they can experiment some.
