My first grandbaby is due any day now (today is the due date)... I went through my childrens toys as they were growing out of them and saved the sentimental ones and put them in boxes and marked them with big letters..GRANDMA'S TOYS... They are downstairs on the dusty shelves waiting for retrieval. I cannot wait to be able to share these with my little kiddies. I tried being selective in the saving part, just wooden puzzles and metal cars, no plastic...my girl's favorite kewpie doll. I feel so sentimental, thinking about them. It was really hard to pick out certain toys and throw others away. Very uncomfortable. So I cannot even imagine what it will be like on the other end..when the grandbabies have outgrown these things. Maybe my kids will want them for their own grandchildren? Maybe they will box them up with GRANDBABY TOYS written on them? What will the world be like in the future for our great great grandchildren??? Thank you so much for your blog...I will be back often!Janet Joehlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16960311651671502960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2059701874209524702.post-59318235351738084072014-08-14T10:43:53.719-07:002014-08-14T10:43:53.719-07:00i have started the immense job of clearing out and...i have started the immense job of clearing out and that includes toys. with no grandchildren at this point even imaginable, i have to rid myself. i found a mouse family in a box of toys, and was angry, how dare they? and yet, i left that box for who knows how many years in my garage. maybe it's ok to keep a little selection of things, build a box for them and they will be your tiny cabinet of curiosities. and throw the rest out happily? i don't know if i can do that, but i plan to try.Velma Bolyardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12446502295849533888noreply@blogger.com
