Rotating Toys

Alex has way too many toys. We got rid of two boxes and he still has more than enough. So, last night while he was taking a bath I boxed up his Imaginext fire station set. I warned Frank that Alex would throw a fit when he noticed, but he hasn’t even noticed! At the beginning of next month I’ll switch them for his castle set and in February he’ll have Geotrax. (His Thomas toys will stay in his room because it is glued to the table and we have nowhere to put it up.)

Now remember Alex got these toys for his b-day in November and for Christmas, but he’s already into something new; Geotrax. He has a Geotrax set he got when he was 2 that he’s shown no interest in. Of course, that changed when he saw the Geotrax website with a link to the DVD. We were going to donate it to a thrift store when we moved, but some of the pieces were already boxed up and now I am glad we still have it.

We are not buying this boy many new toys this year. I will get him one of the cheaper trains for Valentine’s Day and for Easter, if he’s still into it then. If he wants more he has to do extra chores and earn the money. He’s already saved $8 towards a $20 set.
