Sigh. Cocoa Puff is teething hard right now (AGAIN) and seems to be in constant pain. I don't like giving him ibuprofen four times a day and the teething gels don't seem to last very long. Chilled teethers are doing squat at the moment too and his favorite chew toy is my thumb knuckle.
I have another fun set of blocks to tell you about today. (My kids sure seem to love blocks!)
Fisher Price has made a line of Peek-a-Blocks. We have the vehicle set of blocks and the tumblin’ sounds giraffe. There are other sets to go with these, but we have enough! I’ve picked up several single blocks at thrift stores over the years and they work with the giraffe perfectly.
Another one of the best, longest-lasting, most played with toys in our house is the VTech Sit to Stand Learning Walker.
Pancakes are one of our go to breakfasts here. Honey Graham makes them at least twice a week because they’re so easy to make and so versatile. Froot Loop saw this set in the store and he said he wanted it. He got it for Christmas and he still plays with it frequently.
An item that every home with kids should have is a double sided easel. We have one: It’s the Step 2 double sided easel. One side is a magnetic white board with a clip for holding paper. The other side is a chalk board. This double- sided feature is great because it can accommodate one or two kids at a time, whether they be siblings or friends or whatever. Now if we could only prevent them fighting over the whiteboard…
My parents' dog is really old and can't play with her frisbee or tennis balls anymore. She could barely get up onto the couch. (She is incredibly spoiled) My mom took her to the vet and the vet recommended some expensive glucosamine and chondroitin pills for her. Those pills work wonders for their dog. She can jump onto her couch again and play for a few minutes at a time. Walks are still hard on her but she is 12 years old and it is a wonder she can go on walks at all.
We got this Fisher Price Swirlin’ Surprise Gumball Machine over 3 1/2 years ago and it is still one of our favorites. It has held up great over the years.
I apologize that this writeup is a little short today. It's crazy town in our house this week! Today's review is about one of Cocoa Puff's favorite things: Dinosaur stuffed animals! RAAAR!
The car seat we registered for and received for Froot Loop was the Graco myRide 65. I wanted to only have to deal with ONE car seat that would get him from infancy to a booster seat. I really love this car seat. As with most car seats, it was a pain to install the first time, but the instructions were very clear and helpful. We used the latch system. After installation the first time, it was pretty easy afterward.
Right before he turned three last fall, Froot Loop really started getting interested in spelling and reading. I bought some letter construction sets (see post here). I also bought some spelling games such as Boggle Junior (see post here), Spill and Spell (I found a vintage version at a garage sale! - it’s this one!), and bananagrams (see post HERE).
