New Toy

A couple of weeks ago, I was telling Clint that although we are trying our hardest to not be a family that has a house full of toys, we do need more toys for Clark. He is getting older, and has jumped into the next age category of toys. Granted, I was a little early in the purchasing of some toys, like the Alphabet Train when he was 8 months old. (Rated for kids 18months+) But that is beside the point. We also have half or so of our toys over at my parents' house because there isn't a parent/kid friendly backyard, well not at his age anyways. It's great for kids like 7 and up that are much more independent that you can send off to "explore" the backyard(s).

So because we are sharing our toys with my parents and Clark is getting older, I've been on the hunt for something new. I discovered the Berlington Coat Factory a month or so ago too! They sell MUCH more then just coats. It really should be named the Berlington Home Factory or something like that. Not only do they sell coats, but they sell all sorts of clothes and some stores even have a Baby Depot. It's like a mini Babies-R-Us. This is especially important if you are like me and are boycotting B.R.U. because they bait and switch and are a little over priced. So the Baby Depot at Berlington has pretty much everything you need for a baby from cribs, to carseats, strollers, highchairs, feeding supplies and clothes. Just no diapers or actual food.

They also have a small toy section. Within this small toy section I found this:




I thought it was a reasonable price, and Clark and I love playing with it! Plus, it has lots of storage. Besides the two drawers, there is a shelf between the drawer and the top that holds his slowly growing collection of trucks.

I included this video because I think watching him hammer the little "nails" is totally adorable! But then again, I think everything he does is adorable!
