Slip N Slide

Since B loves water & I used to love mine my mom suggested we get him a Slip N Slide..........it was & is a huge hit with him!!

Our ball obsessed son had to get the basketball in the mix as well!!

Organized....Finally....Maybe........

It has been a month since Christmas came & went & I think that we have finally gotten the toy insanity sorted & organized.  Brayden received an overload of toys this Christmas & admittedly we had one hell of a time getting them organized.  We actually wondered if he would even play with everything he received but he manages to play with almost everything everyday & he seems to love everything as well.

We have a closet downstairs that used to house our vacuum & random nothingness that we have turned into his toy closet.........

He goes in & always comes out with something different!!

I think his favorite thing to play with would have to be his ATV; our boy loves to be outside & LOVES to be on this thing............

We got him a table so that he would have his own place to learn, color & "read" & he is actually getting the hang of sitting & doing all 3 of these things pretty quickly.

Not to mention these cookies are a HUGE hit............

His cousin got him this stuffed dog & he loves to cuddle & lay on it in the evenings when we are just relaxing watching TV & winding down.

The sit & spin in a big hit as well; he actually uses it more a a seat than a toy; he will sit on the top of it & spin the bottom part with is little feet.

With all of the snow & rain that we have been getting we haven't been able to us this much but he has LOVED it the few times we have taken a stroll in it.

This wagon came with building blocks but the blocks are in a bin in the closet because all he wants to do in get in & have mommy pull him around the house........it has a very low handle so it can be very hard on this pregnant momma's back!!

Scout is an awesome addition to our home; we all love that you can personalize him with B's name & stuff he likes.........it makes him very special!!

These cars are played with all day everyday..........

JoJo's remote car is perfect for a 1st timer.......2 buttons & noise; what could be more perfect right?

This was a gift from his Grams & Puddy & he opened it back in November when they were here.........it is one of his most prized toys & LOVES to golf upstairs in the hallway!!

Lost Dog Has Been Found........

I didn't even know he was lost but I thought that B was going to have a heart attack when he pulled out this dog from his play closet; he hasn't played with it in so long & I was going to actually going to take it out of his closet & put it in Colton's room for safe keeping but I think that I will have to wait on that for just a little bit!

He used to play with this thing for what seemed like hours on end so I am not surprised that he remembers it but to be so excited about it tickled me! 

What popular toys did you still have for your kids & do they pull them out every once in a while & get excited to see them?

My Worm........

The worm in these photos was mine (& my sisters too) when I was a little one & it is now Brayden's to play with & enjoy not to mention it will soon be Baby G #2 as well.  This used to be one of my favorite things to play with & I am so happy that Brayden loves it so much too!!  It has been in his closet since he was born & when I brought it out the other day he went to it instantly, jumped right on & started to push himself around the whole house on it.  The worm is lighter than his fire truck so on the occasion he will carry it around the house too!!

It is really crazy to think my one of my son's favorite "new" toys is over 30 years old............holy cow now I feel VERY OLD!!!

Brayden's Favorite Toys............

Wooden Spoon

Stereo Remote, Small Red Tupperware Top, Socks & the TV Remote
 (alone or in any group)

The picture qualitity really sucks on tis one BUT look at how happy he is!!!

Empty Pampers Box

Paper

& if we are lucky a toy we actually paid for as a toy not a household item or trash..........

gotta love it!!!

Out of All the Toys.........

Brayden has a ton of toys but out of all of them he likes the TV remote & an empty water bottle the most.........go figure!!



Our poor little boy though; he just doesn't seem himself lately & I am not sure what is going on. Last night he kept crying in his sleep; he never really woke up but it was so pitiful!! He has a slight runny nose but no fever, he is pulling at his ear here & there but has been since I took him to the doctor the last time to get it checked out & they said probably teeth but I don't see any sign of teeth coming up yet so I don't think it is that; but than again I could be wrong & one pop up today! He hasn't had any belly issues in quite a while (Thank God & please don't let me be jinxing myself) so it shouldn't be that. He might be going through a painful growth spurt but my goodness he just did a few weeks ago (& if it is a growth spurt how tall in my son going to be??) but it wasn't like this so I am at a total & complete lose........anyone have any suggestions or advise??

On the house issue we might be closing Monday but we won't know for sure until the end of today so I have decided to let it go & whenever we close we close (as long as we make the April 30th deadline for the $8000 new home tax credit) & whenever we get to move we move!! I will leave it all in God's hands & it will all work out when it is supposed to!!!!

Hope everyone has a Happy Friday :)
