We went to a BBQ at my aunt and uncle's and came home with something wonderful, yet unexpected - a full kitchen set! Ryan and Lucie instantly fell in love with my cousins' play kitchen, and my cousins were more than happy to part with it. (Well, I should say that their parents were happy to part with it, hopefully Maggie and Milo didn't wake up the next day in tears to discover their previously forgotten kitchen set gone.)
Ever since we set it up at home, R & L have been preparing hot dogs, frying eggs, chatting on the kitchen phone and microwaving to their hearts' content. They are still figuring out the difference between real and plastic food. In the meantime, the plastic pickles have quite a few bite marks.Next time we have guests over, we'll leave it to our junior cooks to prepare the meal. They make a mean microwaved banana, all while talking on the phone, dishwashing a refried beans can and baking a plastic taco. Toddlers sure are amazing multi-taskers.

I'll take two eggs over easy please.

They look right at home in their kitchen! When I was a kid one of my playmates had a kitchen set in her basement--back then the "kitchens" were made of cardboard, and no microwave or cell phone. We spent many an hour down there cooking-after a fashion. Fond memories!
Big Barbie doll fans too. Does Lucie have a Barbie doll? Not that I advocate them anymore,... but, hey, back then it was pre-feminist movement.
This looks like fun! I think all kids love that first playtime of pretend cooking and that plastic food looks pretty real these days. Tell R & L I could use a good microwaved banana and a old fashioned make believe tea party :-)
