Chef Michael Damian in Training

Michael received a basket of slice-able fruit from Tita Babes for Christmas. He is in the stage where he loves to play pretend. Sometimes he'll pick a lemon from our backyard, pretend to squeeze it into a mini flower pot, and pour water from his watering can to make lemonade. Then, he'll try to sell it to me for a "coin". It is absolutely adorable! Michael has been playing with his slice-able fruit nonstop. I'm not sure if it's okay to teach an almost 22 month old kid how to cut things using a knife, but I assure you he doesn't play with it unsupervised. What a neat toy for girls and boys! He loves food and being in the kitchen...perhaps he's a chef in training!
