the boy who loves toys

a very late post indeed... andy just turned two, that means that karol will be 4 years and 3 months in a few days.

at four years karol hasn't changed much.  he still loves to play cars, trains, and anything with wheels. as expected, he got a lot of cars for his birthday.  the curious boy that he is, not one hour after he received one, he broke the side mirror. and a few more minutes after that, the window broke. i don't know if i will be disappointed with him for breaking his new toy, or just be happy knowing he really plays with his toys.  and when i say really, i mean REALLY.

having three kids, of varying ages and interests, we have lots of toys.  we could open a kindergarten and not ran out of toys even if each child would take home one.  i think one of the most frustrating things to parents is when you buy kids toys but they never really play with them.  well, we never have such problems with karol. it doesn't matter whether it be expensive or cheap, small or big, he is happy. he gets to have a favorite for a day or a week. but then he really plays with all of his, and even her sisters', toys.

whenever he is home, he is always busy taking things in and out of the toy boxes.  changing one car in favor of another. i just know that if he has a new one, it will be the favorite for a few days. but soon after, he goes back to some older toys.  it's a real mystery to me what is his criteria for choosing his toy of the day or the cars/trains he gets to take to his bed.  yes he sleeps with his cars.

lately though, i noticed that he is getting more and more interested with things he can take apart and put back.  he also started to get interested in drawing.  well he needs a lot of improvements on that department. but at last, he can hold a pencil! still, just the thought of it brings tears to my eyes. lol!

well, that's my boy!
