And then he was 3.

My favorite little boy is about to turn three. And though he got a sweater last year, this year I'm providing a bit more interactive fun.


breakfast.

Brendan loves a car and a truck.  But I thought, since his parents are both stellar cooks, that he might want to have some super fun cooking play time as well.

fruit.

Cut to two months of fervent crocheting later, and I think we've got a respectable line up of dishes for him to cook.

lunch.

As luck would have it, he recently became the proud owner of a kitchen, (complete with microwave and dishwasher) but no play food as of yet. (He's been cooking matchbox cars. I hear that they're very high in protein.)  

dinner.

This might be the most fun I've had with yarn in a long time. Short and simple projects, each fun enough to keep my attention for a few hours, and then--poof--over. 

party time.

My bible was this book (which I checked out from the library three times. Yep. Three. Plus the renewals. And the fines.)

sushi.

And ravelry, of course. And google. 

burger time.


summer picnic.

dessert.


Anyway, you always take a risk when you make stuff for kids (since they're honest), but here's hoping he becomes the best imaginary chef around.
