Toys!!!
There are a lot of great things about becoming a parent. There is the sense of adventure, the chance to teach and learn and most importantly, giving our love. However, there are some side benefits that I selfishly will be taking advantage. That’s right, I get to play with all those cool, colorful, noise making toys. And Michelle is feeding this benefit. It is getting to play with all these great toys! Over the past two years of the journey Michelle and I have bought our share of stuffed animals, games and toys. So far we have collected: Monster Bowling; a giant stuffed bear; many wooden trucks, train and cars; a giraffe with arms coming out of his neck; a floppy cow and much much more. Well with our recent news of being matched with our little guy, Michelle has done a little more shopping. This time she visited Genius Babies (www.geniusbabies.com/) to find some thought inspiring toys. She found a cool toy called Soft Sorting Palls (pictured). This is a soft colorfully anti-jack in the box. There is a triangle cutout for a triangle shaped elephant. An oval shaped dog can be pushed through an oval 
shaped flower. There is a mirror on one side. And … it rattles. Michelle also bought the Whoozit Baby Photo Book. It is a colorful book with plastic holder for pictures. The soft pages offer different colors and textures. If we are allowed to send anything to the foster mother before we travel, we may send this along with pictures of us (and all our pets). We are swimming in toys. I just need someone to play with 🙂 If you have any fun toy ideas, please add them to the comments section.
