Toy Boy

Occasionally, in the mail, we will get catalog circulars. They are usually because of internet orders we have made in the past and now we are unfortunate enough to be on some mailing list. Recently we received the Fisher Price toy catalog for this season. I remembered how much Miles liked looking at the pictures last year, so I set it aside for him this year as well.

I guess liking it has been an understatement. It has become an extension of his arm. He sits for 30-40 minutes at a time just looking at the pictures. He talks about them to himself and us, points to them and of course references favorite pages often. Last night, my mom brought over the Toys R Us catalog and Miles insisted on taking it to bed with him. If I hadn't snuck it away from him when he was sleeping, he would have woken up with it. It is almost safe to say that it is a decent substitute for having the actual toys........pretty much!!

Here are a few pictures from bedtime and a short video clip. The video came out very dark because his room is dimly lit and at one point it goes to black because he heads out into the dark family room looking for his Dora cash register. Unfortunately it was the best I could get.
