Check it out. These are my toys from when I was a little one. Mima and Papi stored them in their garage for years and years and then me and Daddy stored them in our garage until we had you… and then we waited some more until you grew up a little. There is a whole bunch more still in the garage – from my childhood & Daddy’s too. Some are more appropriate for a boy (Daddy’s toys that Granny and Grandpa were nice enough to save for us) and some are still a little too advanced for you. But these were 2 of my favorites and you’ve been enjoying them for the past couple of weeks. My record player, complete with about 8 or 10 records, each record with a different song on the front and the back. The only thing you can’t really do yet is turn it to wind it. It’s a little tough. And sometimes you need help lining up the needle on the record so that it plays right. But you’re getting the hang of it. And you love taking out and putting away the records in the hole on the back.
And my old typewriter. I thought this thing was so cool. Daddy pointed out that you’ll probably never see a real type writer except in a museum. Crazy. Yes, I am actually old enough that I used a typewriter to type things up, not many times and not for long. But computers didn’t really catch on until my teens.
Rumor has it, there’s a lot more stuff in those boxes. Can’t wait to see what we can pull out next. 🙂
