Fun with Toys

Playing with Micah has become much more interactive, and he loves to try new things. This week, he discovered what a challenge it is to try to put his blocks back in their case. He's so patient about it, a trait which we all know he does NOT get from his mother. He would take his time and manipulate the blocks just so so that they would fit in. It was fun to watch him take his time and make sure it was done right.A few months ago, I found this treasure at a garage sale. (Actually, the blocks in the above picture were also from a garage sale. Your dollar can go so much farther this way and many of the toys that I find have been in great shape. We got him a Fisher Price picnic table for just $10! But I digress...) This is a big wheel that has a handle on it so you can control where your child goes. I paid $3 for it. At the consignment shop, it was $25 - and that's used as well! I can only imagine how much it is new. As you can see, Micah's still a little small to ride it, but he had fun trying. How do these petals work again? Is it easier if I use my hands? It doesn't matter. I'll figure it out one day. And I'm still cute. :)
