New Toys

I already talked about the bikes my little two-year-olds received for their birthdays but they were also given a bunch of other goodies (they have such generous grandparents and friends). Besides their new toy airplanes, trucks, glowy balls, legos, and sand toys, here's a few of their new favorites.

This thing is really a fire truck of sorts but it comes in a bunch of parts that fit together like a train, so that's what they call it, their new train. And they adore it. Now it's my go-to distractor- "hey Dash, why don't you go play with your new trains." Works like a charm.

They are also now proud owners of sidewalk chalk.

They really like to see them roll down the driveway since they descend in a curve. And they like to draw on the car. Not really how I pictured them playing with the chalk, but, sure.

But they really do like seeing us draw and then coloring (meaning: swipe big chalk lines) over the top of them.

And of course, their hunger for puzzles has been fed.

I'm really surprised how well they caught onto how these foam puzzles worked. They quickly learned when to elevate the board and when to lay it along the ground. I think these kids are smarter than me.
