Keira's kitchen

I reunited with one of my old high school friends about 6 months ago, and her and I have become good friends again even though we hasn't seen eachother for almost 10 years. She has three kids, the youngest of whom us 4 years old. Her kids had outgrown their play kitchen, so she kindly gave it to Keira!

She was enamored with her kitchen from first sight! Now it has been about 2 months since we got it and she still plays with it regularly. For the entire first week, she would play with immediately when we came downstairs in the morning. She likes to make "oatmeal" and "cookies", and even uses her socks as oven mitts! She likes to load her pretend food into her stroller and distribute it to us like she is a waitress or flight attendant.

When we first got the kitchen from my friend, the door to the microwave had ripped off and Matt needed to fix it. Keira hounded him everyday, bringing him the microwave door and saying "fix it, fix it!" It worked, because he finally fixed it! I thought it was hilarious because it was so important to her to fix it even though there were two other doors to open and shut in her kitchen. She knew how to get what she wanted!

She has started swiping my spices and real pots and pans from the kitchen and keeping them in her toy kitchen. It's cute but gets messy when she pours my spices into her food creations. She is quite the domestic goddess with her kitchen and all her baby dolls!
