Redefining MommyhoodJourney of a mom whose son is overcoming hypotonia

How sad is it that Luke is almost two and we had never been shopping at Toys R Us?? We have done plenty of shopping at Target, Wal-Mart, the local consignment shops, and online, but we don’t have a Toys R Us in our city. We drove the 35 minutes to the closest Toys R Us today and made it our weekend family outing.

I hadn’t been in a toy store in forever, so I was overwhelmed! I think I had more fun looking at the toys than Luke (and Daddy) did. He loves to help me in the kitchen and is fascinated with my KitchenAid stand-up mixer, so I got him a cute little toy mixer w/ utensils, a toy microwave that lights up and spins, and a toy Dirt Devil vacuum (he’s also obsessed w/ my vacuum). All of these toys were part of their special “Buy 2, get the 3rd free”, which of course didn’t ring up correctly at the register.

We got home and Luke helped me vacuum. It was so cute!! It was also great because I actually got to vacuum without him trying to catch me. He went behind me (butt scooting) and vacuumed too:)
