My little boy is growing up
On Sunday I put on Benjamin's church pants and realized they were like an inch too short so I made a mental note to go to Kid to Kid to find a new pair of church pants. While I was looking for the pair of pants and some new Sunday shirts Rachel was off playing with the toys there, as usual. When I went to find her so we could go she was playing with this saucer. Now I've been looking for one that would be cheap but still have some really cool educational toys on it. Thanks to Rachel we finally found one! This one is like next to new and it was only $30, a price I was totally willing to pay. All of the toys on there are in perfect condition, there are no stains or funky smells and it still works. So we took it home, cleaned and sanitized it and put Benjamin in to see what he thought of it. After I put him in his eyes got huge and he tried so hard to get the toys. When he finally did he got so excited! So maybe he is still a little young for it but all he wants to do is stand up lately so I thought this would be good for him. He likes it but I think Rachel likes it a whole lot more...I have to keep reminding her that it's Benjamin's toy not hers.
Also when we eat he wants to be up with us at the table. So I've been putting him on my lap while I eat, but now he loves to grab the place mat or my fork or plate. You get then idea. So I brought out the high chair. Now he can see us while we eat, play with his toys, not get hurt trying to get something he shouldn't and I can eat my food in a little more peace.

What a little cutie! That saucer is awesome. I've been thinking about finding something like that for Grant, but I'm not sure we want to move it. I wish we had a kid to kid around here! Good work.
I was just thinking about how great those toys are that free up your hands, keep the baby safe and entertained at the same time. Then I realized that we borrowed the one we used for so long with Toby. Thats definitely going to be on my list of things to get for the new baby. Yeah for Kid to Kid!
(Benjin is getting so big!)
