Well, my son's first birthday has come and gone and the stress of getting it ready and what not is finally starting to go away. However, the stress of what to do with all the toys is getting worse! Our place is a disaster zone with toys and no where to put them.. I do not like to live like this and I know it's difficult to have a baby in a messy place, one who is trying to learn to walk but can't because there is barely no room.
I am happy that a lot of what he got for his birthday was clothes.. But the toys still build up, and the toys seem to get bigger with age!
He got a really cool Caterpillar Mega Blocks 3 in 1 toy, but it's pretty big.. Our boy can sit in the box part! I am already stressing over Christmas, and that's a long ways away. To me, however, it feels right around the corner and I can see the toys building up more and more.
We need to get a toy box.. But I am picky and do not want just anything.. I would love a toy box with a lid that can double as a bench so that it's not just a box sitting there and can have more than one use so it isn't in the way. Also, the toy box needs to be child-proof.. So, a no slam lid would be great or one with a little notch cut out of the front so no little fingers get slammed.
I have only found one in town and it has those silly "In the night garden" characters on it.. My boyfriend and I find it very creepy and don't want it because of that.. Also, if im going to buy one might as go all the way and get a nice solid one that will last for years.
Anyways.. The party was ok, family and some friends came.. It was fairly entertaining and once it was happening, less stressful than I thought it would be.. I made things so bad for myself before the party I almost had a panic attack on multiple occasions.. I will be sure to take it easier next time!!!
