IAN's Grand Opening

Happy New Year!

To kick off 2016, we'd like to invite you to IAN's. Indulge at IAN's with "Just Like Home food" with his special touch. It's conveniently located in between Cars Land and Mickey's Playhouse in Ian's room.  Ian prides himself in his delivery service within the house, but I highly suggest ordering for pick up if you're located on the 1st floor. (He tends to mess up his presentation as he scoots down the stairs)

As head chef, Ian specializes in pizza, hot dogs, fresh cut bread and chocolate cake.
Sooo IAN case you're hungry, stop by :)

haha ok, Ian would always say he wants to cook and so for a while now I've had him stand on our dining chair and "cook" over our kitchen stove. So for Christmas, I got Ian a Melissa & Doug Cooks Corner with the Cutting Food and Sushi Slicing sets.

I spent my Christmas Eve painting and assembling his kitchen so he'd have it just in time for Christmas.  We had a late night soft opening where Ian served pizza to match his "pizza tree" shirt haha.

Here's how I transformed the Melissa & Doug Cooks Corner to match Ian's room:

 Melissa & Doug has great instructions.
Each page for one step with all the pieces numbered accordingly
+ suggested assembling tips!

I'm no newb when it comes to assembling. 

In fact, I love that I've always been comfortable with tools 

and building things for myself, family and now my son.

Melissa & Doug's instructions are the easiest I've come across
so it helped the process (esp. it being Christmas eve..

and me doing everything solo with a 2 year old "trying to help")

 

Ian loves his new kitchen! 

I never hesitate to have him cook me something.

So if you see less foodie posts on IG, we're probably eating at IAN's...haha

What do you think of the outcome?
