Peter's distractions

Peter is really good at entertaining himself. I sometimes wish it did not make such a mess but it keeps him happy, allows me to get some things done and I think is great for his little imagination. Here he is working ever so hard to arrange the Tupperware cabinet. He likes to take of the seals from the lids and wear them as bracelets. Which I think is hilarious and Alan frowns at. Here he is trying to help me make his blanket. I made him a pillow and blanket for his birthday out of fleece because he loves fuzzy material and I wanted a lightweight blanket for him. It was quite the task trying to work on it while he was awake because he kept trying to steal the material and run off with it to play with.



And his most recent favorite is playing with the yarn in my yarn basket. He occupied himself the other day for half an hour with this red yarn and then of course started crying when he couldn't figure out how to get out of it!
I sometimes wonder why we even buy toys....:)

I love that Peter will have a brother. That is what I hope for, for Hank. But no worries if it is a girl. We find out on Thursday!

Sometimes I too wonder why we buy toys! Hank does play with his toys more now, then he did when he was one. So, maybe the same will be with Peter!

Miss you!!

Julie got a toy for her birthday and had just as much fun with the box as with the toy. That's it, boxes for Christmas.
