‘My 22-year-old son can’t even do that’ cry parents over Love Island toddler’s kind act that left some in tears
A LOVE Island couple have been praised for their parenting after their adorable toddler cooked breakfast for her baby sister.
Jamie Jewitt and Camilla Thurlow, who famously got together on the ITV2 dating show, shared a clip of three-year-old Nell getting busy in the kitchen yesterday.
Nell can be seen expertly cracking eggs into a pan over the cooker before moving hertoddler tower, a child-safe step stool, to the fridge to retrieve some milk and butter.
After adding both to the pan, the toddler switches on the hob and stirs up her eggs until they’re perfectly scrambled.
The sweet youngster then grabs two plastic bowls and portions up some eggs for her baby sister Nora, one, before tucking until her own breakfast.
Proud dad Jamie said: “Matilda in the making!”
In the movie adaption of Roald Dahl’s book, gifted kid Matilda uses her psychic powers to make pancakes all by herself.
And Nell is proving just as talented and independent in the kitchen.
Jamie added: “Nell has always been a keen learner and watching her make eggs for her sister this morning completely from scratch and all by herself was an unbelievably proud moment.
“Kids are the best.”
Jamie, 34, and Camilla, 35, are also parents to baby Brodie, who they welcomed into the world in May.
Their Instagram video of Nell’s kind act has racked up more than 880,000 views.
Many social media users have been left open-mouthed at her skills, joking she’s already a better cook than their grown up kids.
One said: “My goodness well done Nell, my 22-year-old son can’t even do that lol.”
A second pleaded: “Omg can she show my 22 and 32-year-old plz? Well done Nell.”
“Could she come teach my two teen boys, please?!” echoed a third.
A fourth admitted: “She cracks an egg better than me. I’m 38-years-old.”
“My 18 year old couldn’t even boil an egg. Clever girl Nell the eggs looked smashing”, chimed in a fifth.
Meanwhile, a sixth joked: “She’s pretty much ready to go live as an adult.”
Others have been just as full of praise for parents Jamie and Camilla, hailing them for nurturing Nell’s independence.
“Now that’s teaching your kids life skills if I ever saw it”, insisted one person.
