When Mateo’s grandparents came yesterday, they brought with them several toys. Actually, I believe several is an understatement. They had two large plastic bags filled with all sorts of toys like balls, action figures, puzzles, building blocks and even a waiting-to-be-assembled motor city.
At first I thought, hey it’s so nice having the first grandson in the family. Your kid gets to be pampered in attention as well as in toys. But then shortly after they left and it was already time to clean up, I realized it has its down sides too. Now that Mateo has all these toys, we’re quickly running out of space to put them in. It was getting so crowded that we even had to utilize the old refrigerator just so we can store away Mateo’s toys for a while.

When we were cleaning up I remembered thinking never to get him new toys again. Hehe! Fortunately, we were able to fix the place up again. And then I remembered changing my thoughts to, I’ll just buy him a new toy when he gets tired of playing with everything he has. Hopefully he doesn’t tire of them any time soon.
