Two Peas in a Pod

My nephew Jackson is fascinated with pots and cooking. This adorable boy got a kitchen set for Christmas and was delighted with Santa Claus.

I was looking through pictures this morning and found these pictures of Ryan.

Kris, Jack's not alone!!

I forgot that Ryan was delighted by kitchen gadgets. I think the fascination was partly because of the mess, partly because of the noise (picture banging pots) and partly because he liked to be right next to me anytime I might be doing something interesting.

Needless to say, during his early years I went through many pie tins (they make great drums), boxes of cereal (dumped in pots, not eaten - well, mostly), and washed many, many dishes that were not used to prepare anything that was served at the table.

I love those memories. Thank goodness for pictures.

He is so cute tiny. I don't think I have ever seen pictures of the small Ryan.
It is amazing how fast they grow. Not that he isn't cute now. I have a daughter who can attest to that :)

He is so CUTE!! I loved those pictures! You've gotta love the pot banging and mess making stage!
(do they ever grow out of the mess making one?)

Santa's kitchen set has changed my life. Now I can make dinner without having to wash all my pots first. Hallelujah!

I sure love Ryan. I still love to play with pots. If only my mom were around to clean up after me. Actually I would love her around even if she didn't clean up after me.
