Papa & Deedee Take Abby to Toys R Us

Abby had a busy Saturday. It started with breakfast at Chompies with her Mama, Papa and DeeDee. We hit a few yard sales. Uncle Dan got a kitchen table. We went shopping at Macy's for Deedee to get some cast iron pots. And, then, Abby's favorite part: Toys R Us.

Abby is so excited to go to the toy store (or toy star). This is her sitting in the back of Papa's truck. The smile is from her Mama telling her we are at the toy store (Toys R Us).



Abby loved being at the toy store. Her head just went from side to side staring at everything. But, Deedee was on a mission. She wanted to get Abby a chalkboard easel. Well, she found one she liked. It is a Crayola easel. You can see it in the cart. It has a chalkboard on one side and a magnetic white board on the other side.

The first thing Abby did after Papa put it together was to put all of her magnetic numbers on the white board. Then, Papa showed her how to use the chalkboard side. She kept calling the chalk, "crayon". Here you can see her trying to erase her artwork.


She also learned that playing in the middle of the easel is just as much fun! At one point she went to find a piece of chalk to draw on the back of the whiteboard. She is always thinking! Right after this, Aunt Bev, Aunt Linda and Great Grandma Irene stopped by. They got her a realistic baking set from Sur La Table. It is miniature size stuff that she can actually use like: mini loaf pan, a mini spring form pan, 4 count muffin pan, cookie cutters, wooden spoons and even a pastry bag with tips!

After all that excitement, it was time for Abby to take a nap. Here she is with her Papa drinking a bottle. But Abby was just too excited from the day, and it took Mama cuddling with her before she finally took her 2 hour nap.
