now as he plays. It’s totally cute, if I do say so about my own son. I think you’d agree. He loves, loves, loves to play with mixing spoons and mixing bowls. If he’s in the kitchen trying to get underfoot, I can usually distract him from emptying all the reachable cabinets by giving him a wooden spoon and a metal bowl. He will happily mix for a good long time.
Yesterday he started a new game. This also involved cooking. He’d found the play metal pot and the plastic measuring cup that had been repurposed to be a toy, and he was stirring them with a toy mixing spoon. He held the spoon up to my mouth, so I made some chewing noises, and then he prompted, “Mmmmmm!” This repeated many, many, many times, and each time he’d prompt me to say, “Mmmmm!”
Then he started offering me the pot or cup, so I made a slurping noise and said (of course, with a prompt), “Mmmmmm!”
Now he also makes the eating – for the spoon – and slurping – for the cup – noises as he samples his own cooking. It’s really REALLY cute.
