Peace, Love & Slides

Yesterday Mommy, Daddy and I were at Toys R' Us looking for something that I could "safely climb". Apparently my climbing on the stacks of bricks on the back porch, the lid of my sandbox, the couches, my highchair and anything else around the house that I can get my leg up on isn't quite the safest of activities. So there we are at Toys R' Us and Mommy had done her research and found what we wanted (she even knew they were sold out online and that the College Station store only had one). When the associates finally found the box for my climbing wall in the back they said that the cargo net was missing. Mommy & Daddy agreed since they were really tired of me making my own climbing walls... that and Toys R' Us knocked some money off.

So it's pouring rain and we load it in the back of the truck and head home but Mommy and Daddy can't set it up... cause its raining! So this afternoon Mommy started putting it together while Daddy was at the Challenge Course, only to find out that not only was the cargo net missing but the top platform as well. This meant four calls to little tykes and a promise that by 2009 the platform should be in our hot little hands... Mommy said its a bad sign when customer service tells you to "Call back in a week or two to see if any progress has been made".

Luckily when Daddy got home, they figured out how to get the pieces that we had together, so I had something to play on. Afterall, a slide laying flat on the ground is only fun for so long!

Me trying out my slide in its new vertical position.

Time to try out the rock wall

Playing hide and go seek with Daddy... found you!

A rare picture of me & Mommy

Daddy didn't want me to have all the fun so he tried out the slide

I know that that was a lot of pictures but I couldn't pass up showing everyone the pictures of my Daddy! And on a positive note, Mommy, Daddy and I went back to Toys R' Us tonight and the manager found a platform at another store for us and we'll have it next week! Yeah!

Peace, love and slides,
