our house looks like a toy store! it looks like toys r us exploded in our living room! i know that i am not alone. i've actually seen other homes that look just like ours! it seems that just about every week one therapist or another brings a really cool toy for wyatt to work with. "just" what he needs! and then i'm off to get the next "must have" for him......much to tim's chagrin! i think it's the "i've got to give him every advantage because of the Ds" mentality that causes me to buy whatever he needs developmentally at the time! i actually do try to buy things that will last a long time and have multiple uses.....
we have TONS of books; wyatt LOVES books! he sits and "reads" them a lot....he even says "open" when he opens the book sometimes! we also have LOTS of balls; all kinds of balls. big beach balls, little hard balls, medium size texture balls....wyatt loves balls, and throws the ball back and forth to anyone who will play with him! and he loves musical toys....of all varieties! from his baby einstein piano to his fisher price sing and play stage, to bells, shakers, etc.....the list goes on and on! he'll sit and press the buttons on his baby einstein book and "dance;" rocking back and forth or side to side....in rhythm with the music! he's so funny!
the list of toys goes on and on and on; of course it doesn't help that i actually saved lots of the older boys' toys.....they accumulated quite a few as well! i was thinking this morning it would be good to have shelves somewhere so we could rotate toys on and off the floor....instead of having them spread out all over the living room! oh well....he's only a toddler for a short time.... one day our floors will be clean and bare again, and we'll have a teenager "holed" up in his room watching tv, playing video games, texting his girlfriend.......sigh...
