JL early and 1st Birthday present

Last Sun, after dinner, besides cutting cake, JL got his opportunity to open his 1st and early birthday present from KongKong, PohPoh, Yi Yee, Sam Yee and Sam Yee Cheong.

JL was extremely excited and it was what he wanted since 2006. He wanted this same set but we hold on because PaPa and Mummy were not sure whether we could afford and where to place this set. JL was being nice and great boy for not pestering us or making any big fuss for us to buy for him whenever we were in Toy R Us and any toys department. We had no trouble taking him to walk in toys area because he would never demand anything.

However, looks like KongKong, PohPoh, Yi Yee, Sam Yee and Sam Yee Cheong really know him well enough. JL was soo happy that he gave each of them a big hug and kiss saying thank you. PaPa and Yi Yee helped to set-up the kitchen until PaPa's finger got corn due to non-stop screwing up.

JL is very contented with his toys which it was quite hard to get him birthday presents. He told us he doesn’t need anything because he had everything. For this year, he only wanted 3 things. One was this kitchen set..another 2 will be surprise to him (one on his birthday and another one after his birthday).

He was so happy that he finished up his homework the next day (still took a few hours but shorter than usual) so that he could have more time playing with his kitchen set. Now it is in KongKong and PohPoh’s apartment since it is school holidays now. He had been busy playing with KongKong and PohPoh.

Well, JL loves cooking, Transformer, cars, trains etc…so as for us, we don’t mind but some people do give a funny expression when they see or know JL plays cooking.
Just a question, some people commented that boys shouldn’t play kitchen set or cooking… What do you think?

it is totally ok for boy to play cooking set. To the contrary of what people said boys cant play cooking, dolls, or like girly colors, but it is part to learn and find what they like , dont you think?

I don't c anything wrong with boys playing with girlie toys. The toy is for their exploration n development. My boy likes dolls too. :)

I think there is no prob to expose them to different type of toys. I guess when they are young they want to learn everything and experiment as many things as possible. Even Joshua want to tie his hair when ever he sees a rubberband cause he want to follow his cousin Samantha. By then we just explain to them what boys do that girls don't do and also the other way round.
