One of my biggest fears as a new parent (((it's probably more of a personal anxiety))) is having way too many toys around the house. I'm sure my parents and the in-laws will gift G the most colorful and obnoxious toys that make the loudest noises:))) I'm not saying that G won't have enough toys to play with, but I'm going to 'attempt' to own a toy store in the house. Throughout my college years I did not just nanny a couple families, but gained extended families as well. I was the person who usually gave them an educational toy and a book, sometime the expressions were not as estatic as opening up a dump truck or Barbie doll, but they always enjoyed the gifts with me over and over again when we were together.
Yesterday Joseph, G and I went to a friend's 4th birthday party yesterday and I was determined to make something that the child would love and use over and over again. After hearing she loved to draw and color I knew what I was going to make. I was originally thinking about making one of those crayon rolls, but how would she hold paper or a coloring book?!?!?! So an Art Bag is was!!! I embroidered her name to make it personal and filled it with colorful markers and Dora (her party theme) coloring books.
Yay, for me for accomplishing another project!!!
