Going Bowling

Yesterday, another birthday package arrived for R.

The first thing she wanted to do was climb on the box.
Then we helped her open the wrapping paper.And the tissue paper.
It was a bowling set!
She was bowled over with joy. She clutched the ball, laid on the floor with the super-ultra-soft bowling pins, and participated in general merriment. It was awesome.

These bowling pins are so soft. The type of so soft that generally belongs to little baby blankets. The kind you touch in the store and then have to call over whoever else you're shopping with to feel them: "isn't this so soft?" And the whole group then stands around going, "wow, I can't believe how soft this is" "it's so soft!" etc. That's how soft these bowling pins are.

She doesn't really bowl with the ball yet. She's more of a human bulldozer. The minute we stand the pins up, she knocks them all over by crawling into them, walking into them, or falling on top of them to give them all kinds of love. She's been having fun picking one up, and then squatting down to try and pick up another, while dropping the first one, and then getting interested in a different pin. It's hilarious, and so much fun.Thank you, D&S!!!! We love it!

  1. I've been eyeing that set on the wonderful Oompa Toys site for quite some time now. After this post, I can't help but think that we need to get it as soon as possible.

  2. yes, they really are awesome. R hasn't stopped wanting to play with them, although I'm sure, like any other toy, she'd get bored of them if we left them out all the time. if you do order before July 31, you can use the coupon code SUMMER2008JULY to get 10% off. :)
