Little Tikes Play Kitchen

UNCLE Dave and Aunt Heather blessed the Twins with their own three girls no-longer-used Little Tikes kitchen. Dad hauled it home, cleaned it up and let the Twins go at it. Anything new is a hit with them. Dad wondered if it would captivate them for longer than a few minutes.

Liesel, first one up from the afternoon nap, had it to herself for a short time.

She clearly doesn't like it.

EJ soon joined.

They both loved opening the doors and discovering the stuff inside. They loved exploring the new stuff, and putting it away only to pull it out again. They are a little too young yet to play with it as it is intended to be played with, but that'll come with time.

Dad let them discover it when they rose from their afternoon naps, a time while Mom worked from home. Suddenly, disjointedly from the character of the moment, Mom jumped up and ran to the bedroom. She had had an idea. What could it be? She did not want any accompaniment.

Adorable!

Mom bought this apron for herself in the early years of the New Family's marriage. Dad just adores it. Ruffles and lace are just so feminine. Mom had to put it on Buggy. Dad thought it was a great idea.

Their kitchen is set up right outside the Parent's kitchen so that Mom and Dad can keep an eye on them while they play pretend to do the things Mom and Dad are actually doing.

It went up yesterday, and today the Twins still seemed to enjoy it, though having explored everything about it, EJ decided to test its strength by climbing up it.

Boys; they just aren't girls.

One day though Dad hopes he and son will share time in the real kitchen making meals. He could be the next Charlie Trotter (who passed away today incidentally). He hopes Buggy will too, but he has a feeling that that will happen without any effort on his part.

So, now the parents are looking to expand the kitchen. Perhaps the Twins can even have the dream kitchen the Parents hope for!
