Kitchen Helper

I have blogged before about how much Maxim is a big fan of the kitchen. He always wants to watch what is being made and he wants to help when he can. We would hold him so he could see what's going on, but this started to get tiresome as he keeps growing. Recently I purchased a kitchen helper for him so he can safely watch and help when he can. This is a hot item because everywhere I tried to order one it was always back ordered for months. I am not interested in waiting that long so I finally settled on whatever I could get. It wasn't my first choice but it gets the job done, and that's all that matters.

Daddy put this together last Friday, and of course Max wanted to help. He also climbed on this thing before it was fully assembled and he was giggling with happiness. 

He pushes this thing all around the kitchen to do and get what he needs. We had to put the kitchen knives away instead of having them on the counter. No matter how many times I told him not to grab the knives, he did not listen so they had to go. 

He loves his new contraption. I hate the size of this thing because it's not like we have tons of room, but it does help with Max being able to wash his hands and "help" with cooking. He also loves to use this stand to give himself easy access to the nanas...aka bananas.

We are teaching him about the stove being hot and why it's important that he doesn't touch it. He understands and listens to that, but not the knives. Go figure!
