What I learned from playing restaurant with my 5 year old son.
Yesterday was a rainy day so we stayed inside. While inside, my 5 year old son had a list of games and toys for us to play with. Playing restaurant was on our list first so we began.
While I was taking orders and he was eating plastic toy food, I asked him what kind of job he had since he had so much pretend money.
He said, “Watch! I just go over here and run and get the money out of the cash register”!
It was then that I realized that my son wanted to be a cashier or a bank robber. Either way, I think it’s a step up from what he wanted to be a few months ago which was a grass cutter ( the lawn mower man)!
I also noticed from playing with so much toy food that it isn’t the same as the kind we had when I was growing up. The plastic toy food now reads fat-free! Can you believe this? And if it’s not fat-free then it’s hot dogs, pop (soda for the rest of you), or cookies! Am I crazy for noticing this?

We have alot of play food too! My kids love to "cook" in my sons kitchen. We have cake, cookies, ice cream cones, fried chicken, spanish rice, boiled eggs, fried eggs, etc. I love the fried eggs because they look incredibly real!
That's hilarious. I never noticed the "fat free," but I guess that's b/c Leah's a little young for play food yet. Maybe by the time she has it, it will say "no trans fat!" LOL.
I just snorted my coffee! Thanks!
