Whats really cool about having a girl and 2 boys is that they can play with each others toys without having to explain themselves. I do not care if my boys are playing Barbies or with they kitchen set or my little girl plays with their army men or whatever. They are learning on their own about imagination and creativity. My son who is 3 however, will not even go near anything that is girl related... he freaks out about it for some reason.

The DS probably knows that he's all his life infront of him full with working and cooking and doing some things in the house or around it. Very clever boy!

My son, who is now 14, never had the kitchen growing up. But he got the cooking bug a couple of years back - I think while visiting my brother, who is an incredible cook. I am the worst cook in the family - I hate it. My son cooked most meals last summer. He enjoys experimenting and the scientific side of cooking/food. He does watch some Food Network shows - one being Good Eats which generally explains the science behind food, making food.
He plans to go into Engineering. I told him he'll be a hit in college with all the girls because he can do more than order pizza......

I would say that it may be an early sign of homosexuality in the child but that you should not try to alter it because if the child is gay, he is going to be that way and there is nothing you can do. You should talk to the child and see what is in his minds and reassure him that being gay is quite OK and that he need never hide what he is from his parents.

We got our sons play kitchens and associated items when they were young (over 25 years ago). The toys didn't adversely affect them in any way. However, it didn't pique their interest in learning to cook; college took care of that.
