A couple of days ago our little boy turned 16 months old. He is saying more and more lately and all of a sudden his favorite word is "poopy". Here he is chilling by the gate while Maya blows her bubbles.
With all of the new toys, games and gadgets out there for kids to play with it is hard to remember how we ever got by with just Hungy Hungry Hippo and Light Bright. Do you remember a time when BOXES were your best friend and PAPER DOLLS helped kick start your eye for fashion? I have saved very little from my childhood - simply because my toys would be old and moldy by now, not to mention BORING for kids in today's world. However, I did save this one little toy that I once considered to be the most interesting toy of all...
Do you know what it is?
Do you know what it is?
You guessed it....a POPPLE! The cute little teddy has a pouch on the back that allows him to be folded into a ball. I guess I shouldn't be surprised that Maya and Declan LOVE this toy because he was a big favorite of mine too. It is always fun to see my kids playing with something that once meant a lot to me too.
On a side note, I have added new pictures to the kids' bathroom. Most of you are aware that I painted it a nice grey-blue color and added some hints of purple and pink. The pictures of Maya and Declan in the tub fit perfectly with the color scheme.
And forgive me for changing the subject one more time, but I just had to post this picture of Declan from this morning. He hates it when I turn on his bedroom light in the morning because it is too bright for his eyes. Here he is trying to let his eyes get adjusted while I take his picture. I know, I'm a mean mommy for torturing him but he looked so darn cute.
And that is how we roll on Thursdays! =)

I remember Popples! Is that the only toy that you have left from your childhood? Don't you have your Cabbage Patch kid/s? The bathroom pictures are nice. I like the one of Maya with the big strainer in the bathtub too (when you were at the cabin)and also the one of Maya reading on the toilet.
Oh, these are such cute pictures of your little ones. Maya looks so happy to be blowing bubbles!!
My brother had a POPPLE that turned into a soccer ball. I remember it well.
LOVE the pictures of the kiddos in the bathroom. That's such a fun idea. My sister-in-law has all of the cousins individually in tubs, in her "guest bathroom" upstairs and it's so adorable.
I've been a little missing in action with coming to visit and replying to e-mails. Hopefully I can get caught up tonight! But, I had to come say hi! ;)
Heidi, Maya misses Mikayla and talks about her a lot. I think they are going to have lots of fun together on Monday.
ah popples....why didn't I keep mine?? Although I did keep my cabbage patch kid...
Popples rock! haha! i had one when i was little and loved it.
Tammy- I am not sure if you remember me but I met you at Kim's, my name is Angie! I am glad you joined MOPS, I hope you enjoyed today! I wasn't there because Alexis was sick.
