I have a new kitchen island!

It serves only one purpose for assisting me in food preparation - not additional counter space, not additional storage space, no ice maker, sink or food warming drawer. It takes up as much room as an island, but is slightly lower to the ground. You ask, "What is this great new kitchen gadget that you have?"

Our bouncy seat!


The only purpose it serves is to give Amanda a spot to sit and give me two free hands to perform all kitchen functions. She is a true "Christine" in this sense. As you may know, Christine is a fourth generation family name. My grandmother, mother, Amanda and I all share that name. And, we also all share common traits. One of the strongest Christine traits is not wanting to miss out on ANYTHING! Amanda is generally a pretty happy baby, as long as she is in the same room as everyone else. So, we drag her bouncy seat throughout the house, but you are most likely to find it in the middle of the kitchen floor.

By the way, Scott also shares this trait, even though he doesn't have Christine in his name. Andrew is our child who will play by himself (and get into trouble by himself.)
