The Cook Has Arrived

Christmas came a little early at our house. When Grandma and Grandpa arrived they presented Penelope with her very own miniature kitchen.

It only took Grandpa the engineer and Penelope's dad 3 hours to assemble it.

Ever since then Penelope has been cooking up a storm.

Both Grandma and Baby Stella agree that Penelope is an excellent cook.

Penelope has somehow picked up a bunch of kitchen skills. She knows how to cut vegetables on the cutting board using her pretend knife, wash the dishes in the sink, sprinkle salt and pepper onto her food, and turn on the stove and warn us that it is "hot!." From morning until night all we hear out of Penelope's mouth is "cook, cook!"

Thank you Grandma and Grandpa for the kitchen! We love it!
