Big toys that child will want to play with on the daily
Since seeing my son's curiosity in other kids' bike's I know it is time to get him on his dirtbike journey. This is a great way to get your child to learn how to balance and graduate to a bicycle or dirtbike without training wheels!!

Trampolines are his favorite activity at indoor parks, so let's bring some of that fun home to save some extra bucks!

Essentials
Everything a baby could possibly need, extra toys, learning, and stocking stuffers!!
Something we've had for nearly 6 months already, and we have taken it slow and allowed him to show interest in it alone. First step towards making him comfortable with going on his own.

My independent son is crazy about brushing his teeth himself, but stopping isn't in his vocabulary. Toothbrushes always end up where they don't belong. Back-ups are essential always.

Books are very essential for us; my son is still choosing not to try to say new words unless it's something he is interested in so books it is!
