Last Night w/ My Baby!

I took this picture this evening, the last night that my baby will be three. *SNIFF*

Gray is my last little baby and is so cuddly and sweet. We have a little morning routine where I wrap him in a towel after a bath and pretend that he just came out of my belly. He coos and babbles and acts just like a baby.

He has been telling me that he will not be my baby when he is four, only three. So today he says to me, "Today is the last day I am your baby. I will not be your baby when I am four."

I am hoping he doesn't mean it and will still coo and cuddle tomorrow morning like usual.

"Euro-Peein' In the Pool"

Graysen asked for a Playmobile swimming pool for his birthday. I asked him several times to confirm that is what he wanted and he was consistent every time. He kept telling me that his knights needed a swimming pool. So... That is what he is getting.

After opening at least a half-dozen Playmobile toys over the past few months, I have learned not to be suckered by the pretty box...

There are indeed 133 small pieces that need to be put together by Mommy and Daddy including small parts that require the special "Playmobile tool."

Since I did not want to spend hours tomorrow morning with an impatient Graysen, Lee and I decided to set it up this evening. It took about an hour, but it is now finished and ready for play.

The final product:
We decided that it was an European pool since all of the guys that came with it are sporting speedos. I hope they are ready to meet some knights and pirates tomorrow!

Just a few Playmobile tips:

1) Always Google before you buy. Something that costs $35 one place can cost $15 another place. Prices vary a lot.

2) It seems items purchased from Toys R Us require much less assembly than items purchased from Amazon. I am suspicious that Toys R Us has some kind of deal with Playmobile...

Not Much

I know that I haven't posted in a while, but absolutely nothing is going on with our family. We are just enjoying this cozy winter, although I am wondering where the cold weather is?!

Gray's birthday is next week and I hope to have some pictures to post.
