New Toy Store

To celebrate Ayla's one-and-a-halfy birthday, I told her that we were going to take her to the store so that she could pick out a new toy. She was pretty excited about it, and kept saying "Mommy! New toy store! Daddy! New toy store!".

So, after supper last night, we set out to the 'new toy store' (aka Wal-Mart).

When we got to the toy department, Ayla wildly ran right over to the $199 2-wheeler bikes. A wee bit out of the price range, and a wee bit age-inappropriate. The search continued. The next thing that caught her eye was a giant bin of $3 balls. After much thoughtful consideration, and trying different ones out, she chose a purple one. Since it was only $3, we told her that she could find one more toy to bring home. Again, after a careful and painstaking process of trying out many, MANY different toys, Ayla settled on a play stroller. We applauded her choices (which came to a grand total of $11) and headed for the check-out. On the way, we passed a big Dora colouring book that we just couldn't walk by. And some new (washable!) markers.

Pretty lucky girl.
