Boys and Their Toys

So one of the bigger hits of the Christmas toy barrage was Diego's Talking Rescue Center. We almost didn't get it for him but I was really wanting him to have an actual toy to use his imagnation and play with. He's got books and puzzles and instruments and other semi-educational stuff...and some old babyish toys. But, he's not real great about playing independently (we play with him so often, which I love) but this Rescue Center has given him more opportunties for independent play. Plus it's just really cool:



Easton also received a cheap little doctor's kit (from Baby Dalton) for Christmas. The other morning he told me, "Take off Dalton's jammies" to which I was like, "What?!? Why???" then I realized, he needed to listen to Dalton with his stethescope, so we obliged.

Dalton even got a band-aid after his shot:

Dalton's gigantic stuffed dog from Grammy has been fun too. He has a hard time crawling over it just yet:

And the fort! The fort from Santa has been fun but we've had "issues". Easton crawled on the top of it once, bending a piece. So it got taken away for a night. Dalton likes to pick it up Bam-Bam style and it comes apart. Santa's elves should've spent a litte more time constructing this, you would've thought Santa bought it at Wal-Mart or something. Oh well. It's still quite fun for them:

Dalton's been enjoying his ride-on hippo. It looks like Easton is trying to nudge him off here, but really he's trying to steer it as he's giving him a ride:

So cute:

And oh how I wish I didn't cut off his head here:

He's learned to wave, by the way.

Both boys enjoy the doggy Bumble Ball:

As if we didn't have enough balls in this house!

Ha! That sounded kinda naughty, but I really didn't mean it that way. Although surrounded by boys like I am, it works both ways. Tee hee!

Speaking of...seems there's no better time than this part of the post to show my underwearing boy and his bus' up drum kit. Just like a real rock star:

He's got a sweet nurturing side too, of course.

Then he told me, "Oh no! Me monkey threw up his milks!" and went to get a rag to clean up:

Think this little fella might have something to do with that part of Easton's imaginary game?

And he doesn't even have reflux anymore.

Perhaps Dalton's spitty "issues" are part of the reason Easton won't let him near his new baby monkey:

Although, it appears Dalton is relatively happy just watching:

Anyway, we've finally sorted through everything and our house is looking close to the way it looked before. We put 2 of Dalton's new things in the basement for when he's a little older and can use them better. He doesn't miss them as clearly he's more interested in Easton's stuff anyway.

These boys!

Your boys are so cute. Our stuff is finally migrating to permanent places, too. Isn't it so fun having kiddos who can play together?

Dalton and Easton look like they are having so much fun with their new toys and each other. You are so blessed!

They look so cute playing together in their clubhouse!! I think I'm getting ideas for b-day presents here! Thanks! Things are slowly going back to normal here too.

How fun that they can play in the fort together. If only mom would keep the door closed. Sheesh.

I've thought about the Diego Rescue Center for a b-day gift. Adam really likes the commercials for it. Easton is a cutie-pie playing with his.

Oh and I love his little baby monkey. Reminds me of the ones at Rainforest. Too bad he has some tummy issues. :)
