we're having it on june 4th, partly because my mom will be in town for it! i'm really excited about the theme... "painting party". i'll wait to share details but i've been making the party favors & they're turning out so cute!
so, i've been thinking of what to get finn...
he's still REALLY into books & can now patiently listen while we read books with fairly large paragraphs on each page. we've moved to the world of paper books instead of board books. a few of his favorites are:
anything critters or berenstein bears or golden books: winnie the pooh, jungle book, NEMO!!!!, curious george, etc. he can sit there in the glider or at his desk for more than 45 minutes reading by himself. it's one of my favorite things to watch him quietly, for a few minutes, curiously stare at the details on the page.
he is obsessed with trains, fire trucks, ambulances, garbage trucks, recycling trucks, helicopters etc. we love this brand: green toys
this was on sale awhile ago on zulily & now i'm kicking myself for not buying it. we have the dump truck & he loves it.i'm also craving this piece of furniture. finn has been bringing a kitchen chair over & standing on it to attempt to help me with cooking or baking. i'd love to involve him in more, but it's not all that safe. this would help though!
at our midwives appt today they just got some new wooden animals that were so awesome!
she bought them at this store: little artika in scottsdale.
he could also really use an outside play.climb.thing. some sort of jungle gym. but i'm not crazy about plastic (as you're probably tired of hearing) & wood has a tough life in this heat & metal is off limits for several months because it would cause some major burns... so, we'll be deciding on that one for awhile. any suggestions?
but honestly overall he has so much stuff that he's good. he doesn't NEED anything.
i already bought him a few new puzzles with fire trucks on them :) so that'll be fun to watch him open up.
oh! a friend dropped off some baby stuff & with it was a baby rocker thing. finn is obsessed with getting in it, wrapping a blanket around himself & cuddling with his monkey. we at first were trying to tell him to get out- but don't want him to resent the baby since it has all these things he can't play with. so we let him climb in and relax. it's really cute, but that made us realize he doesn't have a chair of his own. so now i'm on the hunt for a cool kids sized chair for the living room. i'm thinking the ikea ones are pretty cute.
anyways, hope you have a wonderful weekend, celebrating & remembering our soldiers.i'm grateful for them. oh so grateful.
