I read a blog on the Times Union page this morning (very interesting) about a woman who was walking through Target and noticed a kids toy that she really liked. This reminded my of a similar experience I had this weekend. I just started doing my Christmas shopping (as most of you know from my last blog) and as I was in Pottery Barn trying to find something that my mom already doesn't have and I was intrigued with the toys in the window so I took a look inside. The toys that I found in this store were ridiculous! They had Dyson vacuum cleaners, stainless steal sinks and $50 fake baking sets for ages 3+! Now, I would be lying if I said I didn't get everything I wanted when I was little, being daddy's little princess, but my toys were much less extravagant. But now looking back my favorite memories are not tied to toys but more about the activities my brother and I would create to keep us occupied. I remember pulling apart the cushions of the couch and riding them down our stair case onto the landing where we piled up all of our pillows off our bed.
Oh how I would go back to this time in my life when from the moment I woke up to the time when I lay my head down to rest the only thing I had to worry about was when Rugrats was on T.V. or if my neighbor could come play hop scotch with me. What I wouldn't do to go back to such a simple life! Grow up slow!
