toy of the week...

We've only recently watched Toy Story, and for Noah's birthday, we took him to see Toy Story 3. He has actually gotten into the movie, calls it "Toys". (we watch movies over and over again in our house!) I was wanting to get him Buzz and Woody characters soon and came across these guys on Toys R Us website. This Buzz is 12 inches tall and Woody, 16 inches. There are 3 different interactive modes to choose from and they can say over 100 phrases. You can press a button to start one figure talking and the other will respond! Pretty impressive huh? And with a hefty price tag of $99, these two guys can be your child's to play with, throw across the room and probably potentially break or lose! haha Needless to say, Noah will not be getting the $99 Buzz and Woody, but I will do want to get him them soon.

Funny story, I always ask Noah where the baby is, he either points to his own belly and giggles or lifts up my shirt and touches my belly. Lately I have been trying to teach him to call her "Mimi", which is the shortened version of her name we knew he would be able to say. But, ever since watching Toy Story, when I ask him the baby's name he responds with "Udy", which is how he says Woody. I'm getting a bit concerned that he is going to be very disappointed when she is born and is not a skinny cowboy!! =)

toy of the week...

B. Brand Toys

I recently came across this brand of toys at Target. Adam says I'm a sucker for good marketing, and I guess so because I was drawn to the colors, the cool packaging, etc. But, also, the toys are fun! So for Noah's birthday we bought him this cool Meowsic Keyboard. He also got the Fish and Splash, Bristol Block Stackadoos, and the Whacky Ball, from other people. (you cannot take pictures off of their website, which is why I put links instead of pictures).
So since I am running out of books, for the book of the week, I'll start sharing a Toy of the Week instead! So this week, it's the B. Brand Toys, which can be found at Target only. Here are a few facts about B. Brand, which made me like them more! All packaging is made with recycled materials, and the bags can be re-used to store the toys itself. I always need more storage!
A quote from their website: "B. POWERFUL. Every B. toy you buy gives 10¢ to
Free the Children. May not sound like a lot, but as dimes add up they change the world."
This, of course, suckered me into liking them even more! =)
So check out B. Brand toys, if you haven't already. They are very affordable and make great bday gifts!
