The chef outfit came about because Markus' favorite thing to play with at Abu and Papa's is the kitchen. He beelines it for the kitchen every time we visit. And lately, Abu has been putting the hat and the apron on him while he cooks- and he has never tried to take it off. He has some of his own kitchen utensils to play with at our house, and typically will spend the entire day carrying around either the wisk, the spatula or a spoon. So it was no problem getting him in that outfit last night or getting him to hold on to the wisk. We did lose the wisk at Costco today (I had no idea when he dropped it, but he did) but as long as we still have some of the other tools I think he will survive.
On a different note, I just have to get down his numbers from his 18 month check. 24 lbs 5 oz and 32 1/4". He is now in the 50% for height and 25% for weight. His head is still off the charts :).

Thanks for the background. I love hearing these kinds of stories! Our most memorable dress-ups were Cami's Cinderella outfit - she really looked like a princess (age 3), her Pocahontas outfit with fake wig (she was going through a phase where she wanted to dye her hair black with blue streaks...look closely at a pic of Disney's Pocahontas and you'll understand. I told her she could dye it when she was 18, which was a sufficient answer for her, and after 6 months, she changed her mind. Whew dodged that bullet! This was all at age 4, by the way!). Oh, and I can't forget the year Sean wanted to be a Pokemon character (age 5ish) and, being in charge of his own creation, since I didn't have the first clue of what to do, he cut "ridges" of construction paper and taped them to the top of his head. He still talks about how much it hurt to get them off! Nate's been Zorro, a Viking, and numerous other macho sorts. Unlike the other kids, however, dressing up was an almost daily occurence for him for many years. Good memories! Thanks for letting me share some. :) Hugs to all, Meg
Hello! It's so fun to find your blog via Jodi's. Congrats on your cutie- he really is a good looking chap. Hope you're doing well and hope our roads cross soon. If you were still working at our doctor they would be crossing A LOT- you know what that means.... Blessings-
