What was I thinking?

I remember when I registered for baby items I actually picked out a swing, bouncy seat and a few other baby items that "matched" my decor. Sage green and light aqua blue. I actually thought they would just blend in and that the appearance of our once clutter free living room would remain somewhat adult like. It did, for about 2 or 3 months. Well gone are the days when that was the case!

Fast forward to present day...

My living room now looks like a corner of Toys R Us during it's Christmas sale! So much for my attempt at blending baby items in with everything. They are blended all right. The living room looks like one big Kitchen Aid mixer tossed up everything from a duck on a stick to his 120 peice train set, (which he has no idea what to do with except pick trains up and throw them...) Just throw in a few tomatoes and we'd be good to go~ Yeah, fun! It is so much fun watching my new little toddler wobble around like a duck and turn my once "oh so perfectly clean and clutter free place" into his playground. I say that, half meaning it, half being sarcastic.

But you know what? I wouldn't want it any other way! For those of you without kids yet... enjoy and savor your precious little quaint, tidy homes. Things are soon to change! Even if you say it will never happen to you....never say never. I never thought I would be okay with toys growing out of my ass but you just come to realize that toys equal sanity. The more toys they have the more you get done. I mean, if it wasn't for Baby Einstein we wouldn't eat!

Oh the joys of toddlerhood! We have a automatic trash can that opens as you wave your arms above it, compliments of my brother in law. It is pretty cool. Everyone that comes over is fascinated, especially 2-4 year olds. It is every kids favorite toy when we have play groups over here. Well, after I started missing various items around the house because R. figured out how to open it and that you can throw things in it, I was forced to put it in the closet! Don't you hate when you move something and it takes like 2 weeks for you to remember. I've almost dumped left overs and dirty diapers in the floor, forgetting that I moved it.

Gotta go for now! Hubby wants me :)
