This is the way we wash the dishes...
Also called, Ode to the Old Kitchen...
"What? Am I not supposed to be in here?" Please note the excellent perspective this shot gives of just how narrow our kitchen actually is. If only my contractor could magically widen the room by, I don't know, 5 feet, that would be great. Also please get a good look at the slab of wood nailed to our back door. This is how the previous owners dealt with the no longer necessary cat flap. HOW did we buy this house??!!
I think this might be where Ethan's current OBSESSION with all things utensils first was born. His new thing is refusing to eat and throwing the tiniest of tantrums when we don't let him try to feed himself with a fork or a spoon at every meal. It's six of one, half dozen of the other--either way the child ends up going hungry most of the time. Oh, and I have to talk to him about wearing his shoes in the dishwasher--that should go over well.
Ethan hatching his plans for a future career in knife throwing...notice this is the last picture. This is when Mama realized that perhaps taking her child out of the dishwasher, thereby saving him from a knife-related ER visit was probably more important than snapping pics. Good, Mama.

Those are cute (and dangerous) pictures-- and Harry eats everything with a spoon, too (even bagels-- don't ask).
We have a similarly narrow kitchen (can't open the fridge and one of the cabinets at the same time), but it is really efficient, surprisingly, so screw those extra 5 feet!
Now I am the stalker-- thanks for the book recs-- that's exactly what I was looking for!
What is it about dishwasher doors that kids find so amazing? Sam not only sat on the opened door when he was younger, he now knows how to put in the "soap" packet, close the door, and start the wash cycle. I told Tiffy that she was training him well.
