Noisy Hand Me Downs

August 23, 2007

What do you do when someone lovingly gives your kids the loudest toy ever?  It’s too late, they’ve already opened the bag and are loving this toy….but I might go crazy soon.  It’s been a good lesson for one of my boys because he doesn’t particularly appreciate noise unless he’s making it.  All that said, what would you do?????  I could just take it away it away but I feel bad.

So, today I went through 2 of the little guy’s drawers in his dresser and sorted through the sizes.  The small stuff went into that size tub, and the next size clothing went into the washer to be ready for him.  I’ve been meaning to do this for some time but just haven’t felt up to it.  I still need to go through his shirts and shoes.  I did weed through the box of shoes we have kept and got rid of a bunch (we don’t want this 3rd guy to look like he’s worn ALL his big brother’s stuff.)  There’s still a huge list of stuff to do pre-baby.  Those nesting, cleaning, purging, tossing hormones are going strong over here.  Hide all your dear possessions, cause Momma’s on a rampage :-)

  1. Can you make it strictly and outside toy? Or can you put it up and make it a Tuesday Toy? Might even teach Abe the days of the week and how many days till? Or lastly, could you make it a particular time of the day that they could play with it and set timer for 15 min of play?? ….all just suggestions….if you think you need some crazy pills whenever they are playing with it….I might would toss it….better tossing the toy…then lossing your cool or your mind.

  2. thanks april. right now i hid it in the closet, but i like the idea of putting a timer on. then they could both get a turn and it could go away until the next day. it’s really fun for them and i need to loosen up, but i’m not cool enough to just let it go on all day :-)

  3. If my kids want to do something noisy I make them go in to one of the bedrooms and shut the door.
