Cheese Grater Girl

I normally buy already shredded cheese, but just recently I decided to buy a block of cheese instead.  For dinner that night I decided to make quessadillas which are one of Lilly's favorite foods.  I called her over and told her I had a special job for her to do.  Reluctantly she came to the kitchen because normally my "special jobs" are not fun for her. When she got to the kitchen, I showed her the cheese grater and the block of cheese and said, "I need you to grate this cheese for our quessadillas."  She looked at me with the strangest look.  So, I showed her how to grate the cheese and how to be careful with the blades so as not to cut her fingers.  She thought it was the best thing ever!  I told her she was the best cheese grater girl I ever met.  Smiling, she kept saying, "Aren't I doing a great job, Mommy.  I listened to your directions and I'm grating a lot of cheese."  I think from now on, I will buy the blocks of cheese, just so she can grate the cheese.
