Chef Elijah

I'm beginning to think that Elijah may have a career in culinary arts ahead of him. Today I was sorting through his toys, my parents store his old stuff for us and I was putting together a box for them to take back to Florida. (How nice of me!) Anyway, I came across some toys he hadn't played with in a long time, they were most likely moved aside for his birthday toys.

One of the things he hadn't seen in a while was a big bucket of play food he received for Christmas. I started to put it in the box, but as soon as he saw it he had to have it. He drug the whole thing out into the living room, dumped it out and declared, "I'm cooking, come eat baby." (He calls me baby sometimes because I'm always calling him that.)

He cooked me a nice plastic hot dog, complete with salt and pepper and a side of plastic broccoli. For himself he boiled a plastic lemon on the stove.

As far as real cooking goes, this is about as far as he gets.
