Brenley in the kitchen

Brenley really seems to be enjoying her new play area downstairs, but took it to a whole new level this weekend when she wanted to play restaurant.  She kept asking to play and I kept putting her off until after I finished X, or after I finished Y, until I could put her off no longer.

She told me she needed to have some time to get ready, so when she was ready for me she hollered at me to come downstairs. I immediately yelled back at Brian to come down and be a part of this.

She had organized all of her Melissa and Doug food on the back of the downstairs kitchen counter (which had been in her bedroom upstairs), she brought her step stool down from her bathroom, and she had put her apron on herself.

Beau, Brian and I all sat at the bar and she took our order, and then she went to the other side to prepare our food. When she was ready, she served us, we ate, and then she cleaned up our dishes. We managed to snake some cash out of her cash register to pay her, and she was delighted at her success. It was totally awesome.  I love this girl's imagination and she did this one all by herself. Sweet girl.

The cook and waitress, Brenley May!
