Great to see her using it!

I for one am quite thankful that Kat isn’t the daredevil that Morganna was. It freaks me out enough when I’m in the living room keeping an eye on her, and she teeters too close to the edge of the couch!

I stared at the learning tower myself when my older daughter, 4 now, was 2. Eventually I just could not hack the price, but my kids are comfy on stools (I think I was the nervous one).

He saw knowing and doing as two sides of the same coin, and cooking became one of the major aspects of the curriculum–it was the base for pretty much all the science taught at the school. I’m glad you’ve found something that’s so helpful for cooking with Kat.
