Now that Katy & my sweet Goobie are here full time my life is filled with all things toddler...
Not that I mind so much...
Take a look at that face from an outing this past weekend...
We were outside at an event and she was so happy...
There were animals and some of her favorite people... Mix that with festival food and getting to be outside all day... She was in heaven!
It took me awhile to get back into the swing of having a toddler around full time but now we are all settled in. The products these days are so fun and so much more advanced then they were when the girlies were toddlers... So here are some of the things that make life with a toddler more fun these days.
First off, lets start with those shoes. These adorable little Keens are a cross between a sandal & shoe. They are super durable and easy to put on! These things are a summer time lifesaver...
And also that stroller she is in... When you live in a rural area and one day you are going to the farmer's market, and the next you are off to take a walk around the block, then you are headed down a bumpy dirt road to explore the beach you need more the the garden variety stroller... Meet The Bob... This baby set us back a pretty penny but it is worth every one of those pretty pennies!
The next one is a "Goobie Specific" need... Meet "Chick Chick"... Hers no longer looks like this one... You see Chick Chick is her "lovie" and hers is dingy and smells bad but a day can not go by without him!
Now that summer is here I have been in the market for things that Goobie can do outside. She love splashing in the dog's water dish so I decided to find her a "water table" and it turns out there are A LOT of them on the market. After much research I decided on the Little Tikes Spiralin' Seas Waterpark Play... It is sturdy, not likely to tip when a two year old decides to climb onto it (and they will), and most importantly, she could play with this thing for hours!
Allow me to introduce "Duck & Goose"... These two cute characters are a favorite around here. Our Goobie knows where the book section is in almost any store we frequent, even if it's way in the back. In fact the closer we get to the book section the more excited she gets and she picked one of these cute books one time and now she gets super excited every time she sees a new one!
Last fall our little Goobie decided she was too big for her crib so we needed to find a toddler bed. We had about three to choose from when my girlies were little... These days there are dozens to choose from but when I spotted this little beauty on the Target website the search was over. We wondered how she would take to it, but we needn't have worried, within moments of Paul assembling it she hopped on and has loved it ever since. I know I have been pretty close lipped about why Katy is back home with the baby but it has been very traumatic and still some days are worse the others for this sweet toddler. Those days this bed almost seems like a magic safe spot to her.
There are about a million other things she loves or make our lives easier, but I will stop myself here for today!
Thanks for listening,
