Binoculars made out of 2 empty toilet paper rolls, left over painters tape and yarn;)
Putting her cars in the jumper - because she treats them how most other girls treat dolls...
Pushing her cars in her stroller AND shopping cart because again, she treats them like dolls..
I think next year we need to officially start celebrating Katie's 1/2 birthday in July... She keeps asking for new toys and to be honest - I can understand why, since she gets such a HUGE stash in December and January and then dribs and drabs here and there the rest of the year.
I would have thought she'd be over the Thomas thing by now - but she just keeps getting more interested and the bastards in the marketing department put this YEARBOOK thing in with the latest piece we bought her for her train table which shows ALL THE TRAINS AND PIECES YOU CAN BUY. And she has already figured out that that's what it's showing because she'll tell you that we should go to the store and see if we can buy this one and that one on sale because she doesn't have them.
And now that we are getting books from the library - she gets introduced to new characters even more frequently - which she then wants to buy for her train table.
In her defense, she does play trains EVERY DAY and she does play with all of them. So, as much as I hate to buy her more because I feel it could be excess - I can see that she would really get a lot of use out of them and love them to bits......
Same goes for her Tonka trucks - she tries to put them on her train tracks but they obviously don't fit - so then I was thinking about getting her a car track for those - but then I feel like we are just buying her toys all the time just because - when I'd rather have a little 1/2 birthday celebration so that we can cycle some toys out - I figure it could be win win for all of us...
To be honest, there aren't many toys in this house that she doesn't use at least weekly.
Then there is the fact that she is SUCH AN AMAZING big sister. She has handled the switch in focus to Ben so well for a little 2 year old. Very mature. She doesn't get angry or upset even though every day now, almost everything we do is based on him or his schedule or his needs.
Then if he is sleeping (which is short and sweet) I try to get the millions of things done around the house that I have to - so she ends up playing alone. So I think - I should buy her the damn trains - she deserves them.
Ugh - it's hard. I don't want to spoil her but I can see a need and a use for getting her a bunch of new stuff now - so I think 1/2 birthday might just be the way to go. She deserves a little spoiling - so maybe we'll have a cake for her next week (even though it's not exactly 1/2 year) and let her pick out some new toys and next July we'll do the whole sha bang!
Other than that, Ben is STILL Teething and I'm feeling increasingly worse. Exhausted all the time, headaches constantly and just feeling like crap - so I went to see a doctor today and they told me I'm probably just run down from staying home with 2 kids - thanks DOC- that helps a lot.
I did have them draw blood to check iron levels so maybe that'll come back and they can give me a supplement to make me feel all better or something - cause I am just DRAGGING and I want to feel better already so I can enjoy the rest of the summer with Katie.
Ok. that's all I have time for tonight. Kids are asleep and I need to get to bed too since sleep is hard to catch for me lately! Yes it's only 8 and yes I hope to be snoring by 9 - lame - I know!
