TOYS!!! (Contest Continues)
With the pending Holiday/Toy Season quickly approaching I decided it was time to go through the toys that belong to my dear Ben. Well, for an only child, he has enough toys to run a daycare. I have bought many, as well as family and then the hand me downs. I just don't know what to do with them all. Ben is 3, He has the Lego from when I was a kid (Lots, I loved the stuff). But he's really too young to put it to good use. But, at least once a week, it all gets dumped over the floor and mommy is left to pick it all up. Ben has 2 Little People sets that are very lonely as he isn't even remotely interested in them. He/I have a Thomas Train Set (Huge) that I've been buying since he was born. I love train sets, and he is just starting to get interested in this. Ben has so many books that I think it's time to donate some. Ben is a puzzle freak, he loves them. He has 5 or 6 different puzzles that are all mixed up. Ben has a basket full of play food, but no kitchen to play with it in, a basket full of dinky cars, a basket full of play tools (for being like daddy) and a basket full of McDonalds toys and figurines. (Ben just walked out of his room, talking on a play phone and told me that Santa was bringing him presents for Christmas time) Some of Ben's Favorite toys are:(1) LeapFrog Click Start, He got this one last year for Christmas and he still loves it. I'll have to add a new Click Start Game to his Christmas List.
(2) Backyardagains Ghettoblaster with microphone. (He's very musical and loves to sing) His Webkinz (He has 8 or 9).
Lol, I am so overwhelmed with toys right now, I don't want to even think about what Christmas is going to be like. I think what ever loot he gets I will only bring out a few things until we move and have our own space again. When he has his own room, It wont feel like quite so much.

I have 2 boys (3 & 6) and we need to do a MAJOR toy purge. We have enough toys, books, games, movies etc to run 2 or 3 daycares! I need to get up the energy to deal with it.
It's hard to do. I want to get rid of so much, but all I came out with was a milk crate full of stuff to sell and 3/4 of a garbage bag of broken stuff. Not enought, but It's so hard to part with.
Good luck to you...maybe we can both get rid of some stuff.
