I've noticed that Jericho doesn't go much for trucks and trains. But he really likes kitchens. Give him a toy kitchen, and he'll spend lots of time opening and closing cupboards, putting stuff in and taking it out again. So I jumped at the chance to buy a lightly used, well-loved kitchen from a neighbor here in Mt. Airy.
As I was picking the kitchen up from behind my neighbor's row house, I was happy to meet the little boy who had played with it for many happy years. "I had a lot of fun with that kitchen," he told me. It makes me happy to think that toy kitchens in this day and age can be passed on with good recommendation from boy to boy.
