Christmas Toy Recommendations

One of my friends asked for my recommendation for a toy to buy for her 18 month old nephew, (Hey Lauren!  I hope this isn’t too late) and I told her I’d blog about it.  So, this is not a wish list, this is a review of some of my boy’s favorite toys:

Schylling ABC Humming Top (I found this on sale at Target).

Just B. Meowsic Piano (I also found this on sale at Target).

Automoblox (Okay, my boys don’t have these, but I wish they did.)  Right now my boys like just about any car of any size and shape.

There you have my top three toy recommendations for boys around 18 months old.  I’m sure this has meant so much to every one of you.

Two apples meet their end.

The aforementioned apples were prematurely plucked  from the grocery bag by two crafty toddlers.  Before parental intervention could prevent it, the apples were carried off into the woods and slowly devoured.

The apples, intended for lunch the following day, were instead finished off in the bath tub.  Those toddlers had developed an affinity for their company, and would not be persuaded to let the fated apples go.  It was a delectable bath night.

If Brookston and Everett had their way they would have let the apples share their crib for the night.  There wasn’t much left of either apple, though, and the boys were content to sleep alone…even though they share a room…so they’re not really alone alone…but I think you get the picture.
