The Budding Chef Gets a Kitchen

Elyse doesn't have a ton of toys. Chris and I feel that kids don't need all of the items that Toys R Us makes you feel like you need to give your children for normal development. I have been on a toy revolt since she was born, actually...I admit, part of it stems from the fact that I don't want a house that looks like Chris and I don't even live there....the other part is that she seems to thrive just doing stuff with me and using the few toys she has with her imagination. The last several months she has loved being in the kitchen and loved playing with play kitchens at other peoples homes. I found this kitchen and had to get it -- she is loving playing with it.

The play food even came with a sushi set!

Every chef needs a sous chef

Whitney (Mot-ney, as Elyse calls her) has had enough of big blondie holding her.
