Old Made New Again

Has anyone been to a toy store lately? Well, I have and let me tell you, there are so many cool toys out there nowadays. Sure we had some nice toys when we were kids. I wonder if it's just because we're not kids anymore that we think the toys of today are so much cooler. Well, as you know, we always make lists at Christmas. This means some online research and some on site searching. This is were I fell upon these new Sesame Street toys. Sooooo cute!! There is the whole family. Elmo, Cookie monster, Bert, Ernie, Big Bird, Snuffy, Oscar, and Grover. They even have the street. That's right, the street. It's the front of Mr.Hooper's store and the famous stairs near Oscar's garbage can. All in all, very awesome. So I added all of the above to Baby's Christmas list. I also added Oscar's Garage Truck and Grover's Firetruck. Well, Baby got everything. I'm guessing I was more excited about it than he was. It brought me back to my childhood. I mean, who didn't love Sesame Street when they were a kid? Really. So, was it selfish of me to put something on Baby's list that I really wanted?

Here are two reasons why I don't think so. First of all, he's too little to even know what he wants. I mean he just turned one. Its not like I was going to put him on the Internet and tell him to make a list of things he wanted! Second of all, he LOVES LOVES LOVES his new Sesame Street toys. I mean, he plays all day with them. He's learned all their names. It wasn't a total selfish choice I made. I know Baby loves playing with little action figures (for lack of a better word), like the Little People collection. So I figured, why not little Sesame Street characters? And I was right. Mommy knows best right? Hehe! I'm happy that he likes his toys and I'm glad that I get to enjoy them too. It's fun to feel young. Play with your kids and have fun! That's what life's all about.
