Chris Kyle is a man of the community so a couple of days ago, he decided to grab lunch at a local business. So local he didn’t even need to leave the house. The man visited his daughter Ava’s little establishment.
Sure enough, she was pleased with the customer and gave him the best table: not only did Chris have balloons dangling right next to him, but the dad could also easily see his adorable chef preparing the order.
When everything was said and done, Chris wrote a review for Ava’s Kitchen on his Instagram account, thanking the girl for a lovely meal. And people noticed. The hilariously wholesome post quickly went viral.

Chris’s fun post perfectly captured his daughter’s personality. “Ava’s personality is absolutely amazing,” Chris told Bored Panda. “She is such a silly girl. From the moment she wakes up, she’s laughing, smiling, and playing the entire day.”
The two of them usually spend time together from sun up to sundown. “As a full-time entrepreneur, I work from home which allows me to be hands-on with my baby girl daily,” the dad explained.
It’s impossible not to smile while scrolling through their other pics as well

At first, Chris wasn’t sure about getting Ava the play kitchen. “When my wife made the purchase, I was hesitant about spending a few hundred dollars on it.” However, once he saw just how much joy it brings to his little girl, he quickly changed his mind. “It has been worth every penny. Ava is the star of her own little world when she is ready to play.”

Chris said he has been overwhelmed by the love and words of encouragement surrounding their viral post. “During these tough times, I’m glad to see our post shine bright in the lives of people around the world.”
People absolutely loved Ava’s Kitchen
Way to go, Dad!!! You're keeping your family safe and making memories...Kudos!!!
This is so beautiful! She will cherish the memories too. My dad used to have tea parties with me..pinky out...and wouldn't care who saw it! :)
Oh, but he is not the only customer, look at those teddy bears waiting in line! Such cute little restaurant owner!!!!
This is so adorable but also at the end of his post he makes an extremely valid point. Don't give up on privately owned black business or any other foe that matter, after just one mistake.
Awesome! Keep up the great parenting! Remember folks, boys need kitchens too! If you eat food you gotta learn to make food! And clean up afterwards!
I don't think play kitchens are that good. I much preferred doing some real cooking (parts my parents considered safe - some light kneading, spreading, using cookie cutters etc.) in a real kitchen - once my brothers (5 and 12) and me (8) made loads of fries. And I mean loads - my 5yo brother was in charge of peeling (with a peeler - it was safe enough) and he... well... peeled ALL the potatoes. It was about 10 pounds. All turned into fries. No, parents weren't home.
Load More Replies...Eva is absolutely adorable- I love her little chef's hat and apron. It really sweet to see dad and daughter sharing some cute moments together.
She is lovely! What a great gift, she's enjoying it so much. And the best thing is, her Daddy is playing with her too. Believe me, it means a lot to a girl to know her Daddy loves to spend time with her. Bless you.
That's an awesome looking kitchen! A couple hundred bucks it well worth it. Really cute!
Ugh, I hate it when the server leaves to watch paw patrol.. happens everytime!
And they never ask if you would like to do The Pup Pup Boogie too!
Load More Replies...Beautiful family. Ava's dad has a great sense of humor and the patience he'll need for the next 16 years.
Awww, my heart!! And did anyone notice the line of stuffed animal patrons waiting to be seated! So cute!!
This story just made my day! The sweetest thing I’ve seen in a long time. Chris, Mom, and little Ava, you are all stars 🌟and rainbows🌈 in my book! Stay safe while having family fun.👏🎉😻
Thank you so much for being involved with her like this and for sharing her with us!!! it is refreshing to see parents(Daddys) involved like this and a ray of hope! Blessings to you all!
How precious she is. When I was a little girl, I made the mistake of telling my Dad that I wanted one of those play kitchens. He said, "you can have the real thing ", put me on a chair, so I could reach the stove and my cooking for a family of 11 began. He sure had a way of taking al the fun out of everything. But, I am one hell of a cook.
Dad-ing in the Age of Yelp.... I typed that because I'm so sick of writers saying "in the Age of Coronavirus" that if I don't laugh I'll probably become insane.
This is a refreshing change for Bored Panda. This beautiful girl will love these pictures when she is older. Way to go, Dad!
Kudos dad! Just adorable, I bet the meal was a delight😋
Load More Replies...Waaay too cute! I wanted a play iron and ironing board and was over the moon when I got one for Christmas. Was about 4 yo. Felt so grown up!
Can dads once get an honest shout out for being just a parent... And luving dad..mad props BRO
Testimony that there are great dads out there. Big shout to you all fathers, keep up the good work.
Load More Replies...This is so cute!!! We have a play kitchen too and are always served “interesting food.” She’s a sweetie!
This guy is a great dad and that little girl is so cute. Paw Patrol breaks are just as necessary as any other.
lol shes sassy! but the place seemed legit, imagine if a karen came there !!!
Great job, Daddy. You'' be thinking about this when you walk her down the aisle. There will be many cherished moments in your lives.
When I was a little older than Ava, I took an expensive veal roast my mother unloaded from her grocery bag and stored it in my little Suzy Homemaker refrigerator. It took Mom a couple of days to find it. The awful smell coming from my bedroom was the tip off!
Brought me way way way up today! What a great Dad you are & she is beyond adorable!
Love it! Little girls need their Daddy's just as much. Kudos to you!
Few things more appealing than loving parents with loving kids. This sure beats all the lame corona virus gags.
This has made my morning...so funny. Such a gorgeous little girl,The kitchen is fabulous.She has got her priorities right “What the rush”Paw Patrol is on 😀😀Love it thanks for posting Dad 👌🏼
She will grow up to be an owner of a fine restaurant, if she wants. She already has some good ideas lol
She's a very blessed child to have a wonderful dad like you. May your business grow well so you can keep enjoying her while she's small.
That's the best looking play kitchen I've seen yet. Nice! And cool dad :)
Everyone Looks quite happy and enjoying themselves! Great parenting! Great cooking! Great life! Thank you! 10 Stars! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Beautiful family! The love and respect for each other will keep them happy forever! God bless you!
Go Dad. daddy's praise is always the best! Good for you! Budding chef there I think!
I wish my father had been able to do similar with me, he could never relate to a child 😞 This guy is fabulous!
Nice kitchen! Better looking than mine! I love the waitresse's attitude ❤
Such a beautiful family. Its wonderful to see it in those adorable pictures. Stay safe and keep making memorable memories 💞😊
she is just tooo friggin cutge to get upset at and you should be tipping her more than the usual amt because she is just tooo friggin cute!! sis and I made our mom playdough hotdogs once. it's the imagination that counts here along with the interaction between baby and her daddy...
That kitchen's a lot nicer than the Little Tykes kitchen I had back in the day, for sure!
You will always be her hero. Your little restaurateur is training for your job, her way. She is a darling with a definite mind of her own.
that's it. this is the cutest thing I've read today. I can happily be done with the internet for a while. <3
wow those play kitchens have come far! My kid's was NOT that nice. lol I'm kinda jealous.
She is so adorable. Looks a lot like her dad and that kitchen is a nice set up.
Your baby girl is absolutely beautiful. Her eyes smile and reveal how secure and loved shes feels. Thank you for sharing this us. There really is no greater joy that rises above family. God bless your family.
could you not have edited or blurred the Twitter handles on some of those posts? Kind of took away from the charm of their messages.
Pro tip: take embarrassing pictures now for when she starts to date. Otherwise - enjoy her. The teen years are Mr Toad's wild ride.
All that toy cooking and cleaning equipment! Gender role brainwashing on full throttle! She'll be a "nice little housewife" one day.
