Toy Cars

     My Mom is awesome. She was very forward thinking and saved a TON of cool stuff from when I was young for my kids to have. That said, I am pretty sentimental and not always the best at letting things go. It is different for the things that I saved for the kids but when Mom unearths these treasures from my childhood and gives them to me...it can be hard for me to pass them to the girls.
     I've had these cars for several months. I let the girls play with them with supervision and they love them. I had let them each pick one to have but mostly they sit on the shelf above the computer. We've been doing a lot of cleaning out this week and the cars came up. olivia also has some things from when she was young that the girls play with now. She told me that when she sees them playing with them she gets a warm feeling inside and even though they are rough on them, its worth it. Besides, what is the alternative? There's no point in letting them sit, it is far time they were played with.
     For Christmas the girls got a really cool play mat with streets and buildings on it. I think the timing is just right so sometime soon, they are going to get more cars, trucks, construction vehicles, dune buggies, taxi cabs, etc to play with then they could ever imagine. I can't wait to see them in action again.
