Why Buy Toys When There's Boxes!

Jay has officially outgrown his 2nd car seat. So we went to the BX in search of a new one for him. The next car seat up for him is the booster seat with a high back that can be removed when he gets big enough and just be a booster seat. The BX had none of these kind of seats.

So off we went to Babies R Us. Here in Germany, Babies R Us is inside Toys R Us. A little annoying and frustrating since we had Jay with us, but it wasn't too bad. We quickly found the booster seat we liked the best and then told Jay that he could pick out ONE toy since he had been good. He walked up and down all the toy aisles and *finally* decided on a pretty cool tractor that had a trailer with it. He was so excited about his new toy that he couldn't even wait till we got home to open it that he ended up ripping open the box himself and getting the tractor out.

We got home pretty quickly and Brandon took out the new booster seat from the box. As soon as the seat was out of the box, the very same tractor that Jay had been SO excited to play with was *very quickly* forgotten. And this big box has been, no kidding, the center of playing for Jay and Bella the last week. 

Brandon even asked "Why are we buying Jay toys? All we need to do is get a box. Shoot. We could even just wrap an empty box for Christmas and he would be so excited to un-wrap it and then to play in it. We could save hundreds!" ... I think he may be onto something here ;) :) haha.
