as planned, we got the play kitchen today!! it was kind of a mad dash out the door- the ONE day cole decides to sleep late is that day we have to be in new london by 8.15 am. go figure. anyway, madison was fed, i was showered, the diaper bag was packed, so i woke cole up, dressed him and laughed as he waved and said "cah?" all bleary-eyed, because even with the sleepy stumbling and drowsy lids, he knew what was happening. poor kid- he so desperately wanted to be wide awake to enjoy going bye-bye. and he was, once he realized that breakfast was going to be on the run... i've never seen a kid SO excited to eat in the van!
first stop: dr h's office to get those stitches out. it went really well- everything's healed up nicely (although a firm bump could still split the incisions open... which shouldn't happen since i tend to make it a point to walk forwards, haha) and the kids were great. cole stayed on the chair in the exam room, which was super! yes, he's finally given in and started climbing off the furniture on his own, which has totally killed the time-out thing.
after the dr, we picked up cole's (and madison's) new favorite toy and mommy's new best friend! as soon as we got home and set it up, cole spent an entire hour playing with the new kitchen. an HOUR... that's a long time for a toddler! we had to get something yummy to make with it, so we also stopped at walmart and got some plastic food (not what i was looking for, but it works for now) so cole can "cook"!
flipping the phone?? (really- between our old cells, his john deere cell and now this play cordless, he's got about 4 phones. he has no excuse not to be in touch, eh?)
making something yummy... i think cole and elvis would get along great as it seems they both to fry weird things. elvis liked fried banana and peanut butter sandwiches and apparently cole likes fried ice-cream cones...
poor madison can't play with the kitchen until she gets older, so i got her some of those little wrist rattles. she's been holding out her fist and studying it pretty intently lately, so we might as well put something interesting on it! guess it wasn't interesting enough, since she immediately fell asleep...and what did mommy get today? two very happy babies... i'd say i got the best deal! :)

Wow! Does that look like fun!!
it is- i wiped it down several times so i could have an excuse to check out all fun stuff, lol!
I don't know- between cell phones and shoes what he likes better?:)
Glad he liked it- it does look pretty fun. I know Kelvin and I played with the one we had growing up ALL the time.
Hey... thats the same kitchen my kids have! Yours looks like it came with more accesories though :-)
well then, your kids have an awesome kitchen too! :) i stopped and picked up some play food on the way home... it only came with the sizzle/bubble burner thing, two pans, a flipper, phone, stool and plastic utensils. i'm making dish and hand towels for it... heehee.
