Kiddo's Toys

Santa was very good to my youngest this year. And yet, he still only got about a tenth of his list...go figure :P

It has been fun watching him play with everything. For a kid who can't sit still, he has been playing intensely. Building like a maniac. And coming up with some very creative "stories" for when the toys intermingle. This often involves "contraptions". What exactly his "contraptions" are, I have no idea. It seems to involve one object moving into another and sending that object moving onto another. Kind of like dominoes, but being carried. Oh, he got dominoes too...Spongebob.

Onto the goodies....

We have the Imaginext space shuttle. A huge hit. It has been exploring the vastness of out 800 sq ft first floor like it was the size of Jupiter.


Legos...so many. Here we have a Power Miners set. This took all morning to build. All by himself.


Star Wars Legos were in town as well.


They seem to have run over some clone buddies...


Lego Atlantis set. Um, yeah, not yet completed...but well kept in their own little bowl.


Under the tree here you can see his Wolf Mountain car set and Marble track thingy. The wolf howls...loudly.


But it is not quite as loud as Stinky here. Stinky was from Santa. He knew Wyatt wanted one way back in October when they were on sale at Target. Not that Santa shops at Target....nope, must have been the Target elf room up at the North Pole ;)


Poor Snoopy. Got all tuckered out with all the playtime. Nap time for him.

Too bad the little guy never tired out. I know I sure did!!!

1 Year Stay of the CPSIA

gush4plush Happy Green Monster

Woo Hoo! Just 2 days after the blog in and more chat time on Etsy with the CPSC...there is a one year stay of enforcement for certain testing and certification requirements...yippee! One more year to fight to get things right. Now maybe they will find a way to keep the safety without losing all the quality handmade and Indie items that we love for our children.
