Last fall, Lydia did not really care that there were new "toys" in the house. She was still really just a lump on a log (but most days we loved our lump!).
This year, Lydia has noticed the new things! The cleaned and patched up bean bags are great fun to toss around. The rhythm sticks are truly the greatest weapon we have ever brought in the house. The parachutes are delightful. Listening to the new music in the car (I have got to memorize these songs too!) results in clapping, giggling, and some laughs from the other drivers sitting in traffic.
All of these things have been wonderful treat every afternoon after nap (hmmmm, maybe this is why her afternoon naps are so short she just senses that mom is in the basement playing with the toys again!). Before dinner, she willingly puts the toys up and we move on with our evening.
THEN the UPS man delivered:
A TUNNEL!
Let's put it this way, the tunnel has not yet gone to a dance class because there is a little girl who is in love with the tunnel. She climbs through. She sits. She plays with her babies. She lays in there and ponders life (I am sure she is wondering "where has this wonderful toy been ALL my life"). When the tunnel is folded up and sitting by the front door, these really cute eyes will bring the tunnel to my feet and sign "please". Seriously, who could resist not opening up the tunnel up for the cuteness???
So our living room has been transformed into a magical play land filled with babies, strollers, tea sets, and now a HUGE tunnel! I think we can handle this transformation for a few years ;)
