Oh, man...

...I just cannot wait for morning, when Alex wakes up.

I hope she loves it! I think she will. But if she doesn't, I'll play with it.

I note also that play kitchens have become considerably more sophisticated over the years.

I am relieved that you can still find toy kitchens that don't make any electronic noises.

What I like best are the tiny little metal pots and pans. There's even an eensy little colander, and a teakettle. When I was a kid, it was all plastic. But this stuff, you could actually cook tiny quantities of food in.

You should still get in the habit of checking your oven very carefully before turning it on to preheat, especially if there's any plastic food in her kitchen. Er...in your kitchen.

My mother gave her two little wire market baskets full of wooden food - one basket of dry goods, and one basket of fruits and vegetables that are held together with velcro and can be cut with a wooden knife. We are so all set.

Alex actually understands all about never touching the oven because it's so hot. She often helps me cook, and is careful to avoid the burners and the oven door. Whew.

Oh, those are so much fun! I especially love the toy bread with the slices stuck together with velcro. (I like to wiggle it apart with a fork, just like an english muffin.) I hope you continue to enjoy the clanging of little metal pots and pans after the initial excitement wears off.
