Take your pick

Recently Laney has found a few new favorite toys. The first is Cinnamon Life. We eat a lot of cereal in our house and that is one of our favorite kinds. Every few months Albertsons has is on sale 10 for $10. I try to stock up on it for our year supply (is it bad if that is the only thing I have in my year supply?) We don't have tons of extra cabinet space though so currently it it sits on the shelves in our kitchen. Laney has found it and loves to go play with it. I don't know what the attraction is but she can't seem to get enough of it.


The second new toy seems a little more normal to me. Laney has taken a new interest in books. In our family room, we have some bookshelves. On the bottom shelf Laney has a basket full of toys and a basket full of books. It has only been the past few weeks that she has realized that is where her toys can be found. But within the past few days she has started playing favorites with her books over her toys. She tries to get them out and if not successful whines until someone helps her. Then she likes to look at the pictures and close the book. Then look through a few pages and close the book. She could probably do it all day if mom or dad would sit down and read with her. Hopefully she is really processing those colors, letters, and most importantly numbers when she reads.

I made the header using Photshop Elements. It is the program I use for my digital scrapbooking. And Erich did the html stuff to put it up there. I love being married to a computer nerd!
