Karis has discovered the joy of imaginary play, and she loves to cook in her toy kitchen with her fake food. Cooking and imagination? Well now there is a kid's game I can get into! I've been trying to incorporate her into more of my own cooking practices recently. Realizing that what I do in the kitchen is often way above her eye level, I've been holding her and showing her how to do the various kitchen tasks so that she has an idea of how cooking works. On Tuesday, while making her peanut butter and jelly sandwhich, we pulled out her fake piece of bread with her toy plate and knife, and she mimicked my preparation. Yesterday it was a fried egg. Now if only I had a hot pink frying pan, we'd be in business.
***Update-I realized today that I usually sing this song to Karis whenever I hand her a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, which is every day. Warning, it is perhaps annoying at first but then ends up being very addictive. Don't watch this if you don't want to sing it every time you make a pb & j sandwich.***

I just discovered your blog and love all your photos, especially your banner photo of the Rolleiflex camera. I have one exactly like it that I got from my stepfather. Have you used it much?
