Chef Nadia

 When I am at a show, I always hear, at least a dozen times, "These are so cute, but what do you do with them?"  They are toys!  You play with them!  I guess most adults have just completely lost their imagination and don't know what to do with a toy that doesn't talk or light up or tell you how to play with it.  But I love watching kids with my toys.  They instinctively know exactly what to do.  My little Nadia was the perfect example of this at our recent photo shoot.

 We had so much fun.  We dressed her up in a cute apron and chef hat that Amy made and set her up with some cupcakes and all of the fixings to make them and she went to work while Melinda took pictures.

 First, she poured the flour into the bowl.

Then she broke some eggs into the bowl.

Then she tossed a cupcake with a spatula and whisk, like it was a salad.

When she was done, TA DA!  She was so proud of the pan of cupcakes that she had made and was eager to share them with anyone who would pretend to eat her creation.   

I wish everyone who wonders how to use my toys could see Nadia play with them for a few minutes.  They would realize that an imagination is way more fun than any video game on the market.
