One of the troubles with having a winter baby is that both Christmas and birthday happen in the same season. The gift giving all happens at one time. Steve and I discovered a week or so ago that Evelyn has really outgrown most of her toys. They just aren't engaging to her the way they were 6 months ago when she got many of them. So, she lucked out this year and got some half-birthday gifts. We got her some building blocks and some new doll accessories, among a few other things. It's really amazing to see her actually using her imagination and playing.
My mom even chipped in with an early, early birthday present and ordered her the Disney Little People Princess Castle. It arrived the other day and I spent nap time dealing with the miniature screws and precise application of stickers. It was totally worth it though because when we walked down from her nap and she saw it sitting there, her response was "WOW!"
Building the Princess Castle reminded me of a similar struggle back at Christmas. For those who may have missed it then, read about t
he last time I had to put a toy together!
