Considering how much I love food and cooking, I am thrilled that S&Z are showing an interest in some kitchen-themed toys. I have posted a lot in the past about how much time we spend playing in the kitchen. Our friends, Sydney & Ivy, have an awesome play kitchen. S&Z love playing with it when we go over there! This type of toy is definitely on my radar as a birthday or Christmas gift for them this year.
For Christmas, Derek's cousin Darlene & her husband Pete gave S&Z "potsy", a really cute toy made by Leap Frog. Both kids like it, but Silas will sit and play with it much longer than Zoe (although this is true of pretty much any toy - they kid has some serious focused attention). He puts the food in, stirs the pot, puts the lid on and then takes it off, etc. Of course they fight over it too :)

The Vogel-Farley's gave the kids a late Christmas bag of goodies this week. One of the gifts is a kid-size set of kitchen gadgets. The best part is that they are metal, so they feel real and make lots of noise. These toys kept Silas occupied for AT LEAST 1-1/2 hours in total today.
Which was a lifesaver, because Zoe was having (yet another) tough teething day. She has had 7 new teeth (4 incisors and 3 molars) come in over the last 2 months. She's up (and yes, I know she needs her bangs trimmed),
Then she's down.
It's been total misery.
Many thanks and much love to the VVF's and Darlene & Pete for the awesome kitchen gifts! They are getting tons of good use, especially by Chef Silas!
