Boy Toys For Ben

After a deep cleaning and reorganization of the toy room I realized that many of our toys are more gender focused toward girls and not boys. Poor Ben has sported many high-heeled shoes, purses, stuffed princesses and as we all know he's my #1 best vacummer! I've also noticed that Ben no longer helps cook at the little kitchen but he climbs it instead. He doesn't talk with the mini princesses but pounds them into the table to make the loudest noise possible. It's these experiences that has pushed me into finding more "appropriate toys" for Ben.

Thanks to my sister Kim for dropping off many pounds of Lego's and blocks, boy dress up hats, and even a superman laptop that Ben can't get enough of. But after hitting the 2nd Hand Kid's Store I couldn't pass up this gem of a purchase. (besides the fact Ben wouldn't get off of it)

INTRODUCING BEN, THE BOUNCING BRONCO (aka: riding on a zebra with shoes):

Sheer joy!

Asking him to stop for a photo opt was an impossible task.

When was the last time you threw your head back and laughed like this?

INTRODUCING BEN THE BOUNTY HUNTER ON HIS FIRST EXCURSION:

I've got my hat and my weapon...now I'm ready.

ATTACK!!

I am seriously grossed out and screaming by this because that is a nasty, dirty, fly-gut filled Fly Swatter. EW! But of course, Ben enjoyed it! (and Larry too!)
