Solars Toy

My almost 3 year old grandson has never watched tv, a movie, played on a computer or tablet.  He gets to watch the 1 minute video of Grandpa Solar on the bulldozer but that is it. 
He plays outside a lot and my daughter engages him to do things (cooking with her, building things, painting, playing music...)

:laugh: :laugh:

We've talked about this...

I've vowed not to splurge this kid with gifts and toys. It's a waste. He needs to take his butt outside and go play in dirt like we used to

Our great grandkid enjoy coming over from the big city of Seattle and play in the dirt or snow on our farm.   As I tell my grandkids they will wash.  :lol:

My daughter has her Masters in Early Childhood Development...teaches a couple classes a semester at a local Junior college.  The biggest thing she found was to be upfront with others about her choices for him.  The kid was almost 2 before he had any sweets.  (A tough one for the Grandmas.)

We don't always see eye to eye but I respect what she is doing.  Toy

I wasn't talking about fluff, I meant the basics, time consumed, doctor visits, FOOD, clothes, assuming you're going to clothe him. :lol:

She's very good. Thanks for asking.

She already ate (and so did he!) and we're soon going to get moved to our official hospital room

The hospital billing department just paid us a visit  :bored: :blink:

It's everything I said before plus 20% of the total expenses for the hospital stay.

They're gonna mail it to us
:unsure:


Fingers crossed that it's not too much :wink:

Lol. I actually slept pretty well besides almost freezing to death in this place.

But boy is he cranky today.  Crying like a maniac for boob food.

The Mrs. is very sore. He's got a healthy appetite
