Toys toys toys

My recent hobby has been shopping at second-hand stores buying fun things for Brian. You can always find good deals at second-hand stores, and I get so excited when I buy something. Of course, there are certain things that you definitely want to buy brand new. Heh heh...

Josh got me thinking about getting these spunge mats. Usually one piece is 100 yen. And if there's a picture on it like these ones do, then it costs more. This mat is like a puzzle. The animal pieces come out too. I found 12 pieces for 400 yen. :) Yay! Tanoshii!!

I'm soooo bored these days, I found myself pulling out animal toys and ORGANIZING THEM. So crazy. Haha! I caught myself and had to back away. Haha.
All these animals and dinos (there are more of these) were in a big bag for 300 yen. Yay!

These toys are a little advanced for Brian, but he really gets in there and grabs them. I do animal flash cards with him, and so he's familiar with animal sounds. When he picks up an animal I make the sound the animal makes and he just loves it.

He can sit for just a few seconds. He's not THAT strong just yet. I let go of him for these photos. :)

  4. sooo awesome, second hand toys are best! Because literally they will play with 1 day and discard the next, such great finds you got. those animal ones are awesome. amelie has those too and they are by far the most popular. he's so strong, look at him sit! even if for just a few seconds.
