Who needs toys when...

you can play with Mama's jogging shoes,

play with a pasta spoon,
or, play with an empty box.

Today when Cole and I went to Wal-mart I was on a mission to find him some soft plastic Tonka trucks like his friend Lyric has. They didn't have the exact ones that Lyric had but Cole immediately recognized the Tonka toys. (The ones at Wal-mart were smaller and more came to a box.) I'm not kidding when I say that he recognized them. As soon as I started to pick the box off the self he squealed and started kicking his legs and waving his hands with excitement. I just had to get them for him then. (I know, not a great practice to get into but we haven't bought him one toy since he was born. All of his toys thus far have been given to him. I just couldn't resist.)

So I guess he still needs his toys. :)

Okay, so I have to brag on my wonderful husband. Today he surprised me by coming home early and bringing me flowers. He brought my favorites, Daisies. He is so thoughtful. I am so very blessed. Thank you Love.
