A Child’s Play
We spent wasted quite a bit of money trying to find toys that our firstborn would want to play with. Aside from his collection of Hot Wheels cars, toys were pushed aside as he and his imagination took to the field. Almost as soon as he could walk, he was skating…in the house he did circles downstairs for countless hours. It was only a side-trek because of bad weather and rules against throwing and hitting a baseball INside the house. I guess rollerblades on the floor was the lesser of two evils.
Fast forward, eh’ slow forward, 10 years and his brother enters the world by storm. THIS boy’s imagination is beyond to the moon and back. If a child’s play is his work, my little big guy has been working endlessly day in and day out for years. And those toys that #1 son didn’t want? We saved them, and I’m so glad we did. There’s nothing like watching a child’s play imagination taking over the world (and the house!). The tough thing is when it’s time to purge toys, I pick up one after another and have to admit that it still gets played with. He LOVES to play, and I am so ok with that!
You never know where they’ll be next, but it’s certain that they will.
