I remembered to pull out the baby play mat this week. Among all of our baby paraphernalia, this is the one probably enjoyed more by the older siblings than the baby, yet I still pull it out. Tommy does seem to like looking at the dangling bugs … but Ricky is right there moving the bugs and redoing the links.
Ricky is very creative. When I first pulled it out, I couldn’t find the links we use to attach the bugs to the crossbars (not that any of my boys would ever move something from where I put it!), so Ricky came up with a solution that would prevent him from having to go and find said links … tinker toys sticks!
It worked pretty good too, the stinker!
Taking these pictures of Ricky with Tommy …
Reminded me of taking these pictures back in April 2007 …
That’s Ricky with Billy. They have gotten so grown up!
And then I remembered these pictures from May last year …
That’s Billy with Rusty.
And remembering all those pictures has me hanging on to this random and not really necessary piece of baby gear a bit longer.
