Aiden turned two at the beginning of June and was loved ALOT from his family ;)
With his giftcards and birthday money in hand, well, in mom's hand, he ventured to the store! This is quite an interesting experience...how on earth do you control a 2 year old in the toy section (which we had successfully avoided for the most part)?! He had trucks pulled out and pushed halfway down the aisle, yelling "wow way cool!" at each toy and grabbed for everything he could reach. It was actually quite fun to watch :)
First, we helped him choose a shovel. He really enjoys helping Daniel in the garden and tries to use the big shovel quite frequently. Hopefully he will enjoy this!
Then he had a few choices to make but ended up choosing (with maybe a little encouragement from his mom) the computer. It really is cool...and he likes to play computer with his dad. :)
At the last store, he picked a marble drop set?? Not sure what it's called, but pieces connect together and marbles drop down it. It's pretty cool. And Daniel helped choose a track for his matchbox cars. I later find out both these toys were a BIG deal in Daniel's childhood. ;) And may I add, dress up sets have come along way since my childhood! Wow! I look forward to "influencing" Charlotte's birthday shopping someday ;)
This is worth sharing as well...we enjoyed pizza at Red Rossa and Aiden received a free gelato with his meal. He so very kindly was offering me bites. And then he attacked me with a loaded spoonful of chocolate gelato. On my neck, in my hair, down my arm. Honestly, it was hilarious. I thought I was getting another bite and he totally psyched me out. The table next to us got a laugh too. :)
A very fun Saturday for the Lichter's! A big thank you to his Grandpa Tom/Grandma Ilene, Grandma Sue/Grandpa John and Ruth & Clarence :) I need to ask, do any of you "help" your kiddos pick their toys with their spending money?
Marble works!!! I loved that toy!!!! :D
