Big Man is currently going through a stage where he's fascinated with dinosaurs and dragons. One day he informed me that his dragon lives in the kitchen. Huh? "Yes, Mom! My dragon lives in the stove." Apparently his dragon does indeed live in the stove and comes out when I cook. Especially when I boil water or any other substance that produces lots of steam. I was cooking the other day and Big Man walked into the kitchen. He was sooo excited when he looked at the stove. "The dragon's back, Mom!" He will pull up a stool as close to the stove as I will allow him (which isn't close) and sit and watch his dragon. He loves it when I remove the lid from a pot of boiling water and allow a huge cloud of steam to escape. That's when the dragon is really mad.
The dragon also makes appearances on camping trips. He is the source of all campfires. Big Man loves campfires (what boy doesn't - including Big Man's daddy) and is thrilled when the dragon roasts his marshmallows.
I wonder if he'll be as fascinated with cooking when he gets old enough to help? Maybe if I convince him the dragon is doing all the work. Or maybe not...
