A New Fixture in Mama's Kitchen

Alex learned how to open all of the baby gates earlier this month. Since then, it's been a challenge to keep him out of trouble, to say the least. It seems that the kitchen is quickly becoming his favorite room.

Today, while I prepared dinner, Alex came into the kitchen and asked for a snack. I had some sliced almonds on hand, so I offered them, since dinner was a little late. Alex sat right down on the floor and enjoyed his little snack.

I asked him what he was doing and he said 'I like being in the kitchen with you.' He's also been given to coming in there while I'm washing the breakfast dishes and sitting right next to where I'm standing, leaning against my legs.

'So you like being in Mama's Kitchen?' I asked during one of these snuggle visits. 'Yeah', he giggled, 'I love you.'
