Now, about the title of this blog: I blogged a few weeks ago that my college roommate, Abbey, came to visit for the weekend. Abbey witnessed firsthand what many of you have only seen on the blog: Emma tossing toy after toy after toy off the tray on her stander. Emma doesn't get too upset that her toys are all on the ground, but you can only leave a 1-year-old immobilized for so long without providing her with toys...that she will promptly throw on the floor....and she doesn't get upset that her toys are all on the ground, but you can only leave a 1-year-old immobilized for so long without providing her with toys........you see where this is going.
The other day I came home to a package on the front steps from Amazon. I thought to myself, oh, that must be something I just ordered. (I have an addiction to Amazon. Best prices, free shipping on most baby- and non-baby items with Amazon Mom. I didn't even realize that I HADN'T ordered something.) When I opened it, I found a new toy with a note from Aunt Abbey that challenged Emma to throw THIS toy off the stander. God love her, Aunt Abbey bought Emma a Melissa and Doug toy with (drumroll, please) SUCTION CUPS. Emma doesn't even attempt to pitch it overboard.
I love Abbey Elaine Diehm Zachar!
YAY! I was wondering what Ms. Emma's reaction would be when she realized she couldn't just toss this toy overboard. I wonder how long the smiles (as captured above) will last? Will she grunt in frustration that she can't toss it overboard? For your sake, I hope not. But hey, at least for today, its doing its job! AND OH - DON'T TELL RUSSELL (that's why I'm writing in all caps) but I'm such a slacker. I have something to add to his collection that I need to get in the mail. Love you!
ReplyDeleteAnd I too, have an addiction to Amazon (hence my FB comment to you today). This is one of the many reasons we'll always be friends! xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteAnd one more thing ... can you send me the jpg of the first pic of Emma+stander+toy so I can print it out and put it on my fridge? That smile will brighten anyone's day!
