The little chef

Vic used to be very possessive over her toys, and naturally she was not eager to share them with William when he was 6 or 7 months and getting curious about his surroundings. These days, she's perfectly OK with William helping himself to her toys, eg the kitchen set, aptly named Iynkaran Kitchen, the pink doll stroller, the dolls, color pencils (which was initially out of bounds as he would put them in his mouth) and any other stuff belonging to her.

Of all these, William's favourite seem to be the Iynkaran Kitchen, complete with pots and pans, cutleries, plastic foods that can be halved, a mobile phone, stove, etc. Some weeks back the little boy has discovered the joys of using REAL utensils. He'd open all my kitchen cabinet doors, and help himself to REAL cutleries and also take some of my plastic casserole and plastic bottles, because we always stop him when he takes the other REAL stuff which are breakable and dangerous.

It's no surprise to see the boy running out from my kitchen with a spatula or ladle or cake beater in his hands, or sometimes his jie jie's blue Mickey Mouse fork (he doesn't like the spoon, he prefers the fork). Sometime's they'd be stuff strewn all over my kitchen floor and we know who's been there! He's also poked my garlics with the fork, and threw them on the floor. He's put the sweet potato in the basket of his bicycle. He's peel off a banana or two, and threw some apples on the floor too, I guess just to see if they bounce like a ball. : )
