We cleaned up the playroom a while ago and had the boys go through and get rid of things they no longer wanted or used. After putting some downstairs for a Goodwill donation and filling up a couple trash bags with stuff that wasn't worth passing on we ended up with this pile of "good stuff" we wanted to offer our sitter, Amy. She came and picked it all up tonight. She'll keep some and then pass on what she doesn't want to her Mom's Group for their share table. She's very active in MOPS (Mothers Of Preschoolers) and was excited to be able to take so much that others can use. It was a bit sad though to see all the well-loved things from the boys' earlier years being passed on. Things like one of Kaden's favorite games, Hullaballoo, their Scooby-Doo bean bags, the Leapster and Leap Pad educational electronic games, and yes, the little blue and white chair that came with the "feeding table" they both used as babies (instead of a high chair) that converted into a little table for play time...it grew with the kids and the chair suited them at ages 3-5.
They've long outgrown these things and I guess it's time we cleared them out and let someone else put them to use. It's all just a reminder of how big they've grown.
