Things I have bought the little one.....

So as paranoid as I normally am. I have yet to buy BGR (baby girl ramos) anything that is of importance. You know like a crib or bedding. No, not I. I have bought her stuff that makes me happy and hopefully will make her happy too. Here are a few pictures of that randomness that I have purchased in the last 6 1/2 months.

Her first dog..... Isn't he adorable?

Some soft blocks she can play with and not hurt herself. They make noise in their own unique way. The red one jingles. The blue one rings. The yellow one quacks. And the green one shakes. They also have the color written on them in several languages, including Spanish. Pretty exciting.


Her first phone.



Wooden building blocks. She can learn her alphabet and build towers. A multipurpose kind of toy, what more do you want?



Then there is that frame that I found for $5. Yes, I said five dollars. And to seal the deal, it is that ABC's with the Sesame Street gang. The same guys I grew up watching.


And if you know anything about my father-in-law you know his love for turtles. So BGR has to have a turtle of her own. Presenting her own little turtle.



Then there is the colorful wooden stacker that sways. A good learning tool for colors. See I was thinking of a purpose for it.


This next one is not finished yet. I am going to have to paint it and make it hers. I haven't thought of the color scheme yet but it should be fun putting it together.


And last but not least, one of my favorites, the drumming bear push toy. He claps his when you push him. I realize that in the future I might regret this purchase but who could resist this cuteness.

So what have I learned about myself in this process. That I like old stuff, classic toys, and particularly wooden toys. Something about them makes me think of my toys I grew up with. I love the new amazing toys that are available for kids nowadays but I like the stuff that makes me think of my childhood. And in a way I want my little one to play with the stuff I know and remember so well. I want her to be full of imagination and creativity. But most importantly I want her to have fun, to truly enjoy her childhood.
