More cooking!
We got The Bee a little kitchen for her birthday, and she is OBSESSED with it to the point that I can hear her calling this from behind her closed bedroom door each afternoon when she wakes from her nap. She will literally spend 5 hours a day putting things in the oven and taking them out, while we get fed on pizza, eggs and toast throughout the day. Most excellent present, and I am feeling rather chuffed with myself, seeing how much pleasure she’s getting from it, and how much it’s firing her imagination.
We went out today to spend her Nonnis’ birthday money on some additional items for it, only to discover that it would be twice the price of buying them on Amazon, even considering shipping. So Lady G will have to wait, but she has some very exciting gifties winging their way from the US:
I have plans to make some more things out of felt when I get the chance – wouldn’t some ravioli be awesome? – to complement the felt fruit and vegetables from Ikea that she’s had knocking around for a while.
wow, that stuff looks REALLY nice.
I know – a bit excessive really, but we don’t buy her toys at any other time of year and when someone gives you Euros to spend, with the instruction to buy some nice things for her kitchen…well it’s easy to get carried away!
i’ll help you justify it, the nicer stuff lasts through more than one kid, so the new baby will be able to enjoy this stuff too
