Eli has desperately needed something to play with in the backyard. He has the splash pad but he's pretty much lost interest in playing with that. I recently ordered him a water table type kitchen set from Amazon. It's called Mudpie Kitchen. There's a basin that you fill with water. You can push down on the handle and water comes out of the faucet. There is also a mixer, which your supposed to put water and dirt in to make mudpies. It comes with tools to do so.
I am really anxious for it to get here so we have something to do in the shade of the patio in the afternoon. We haven't been going out in the afternoon with all the heat advisories. I'm too afraid that Eli will overheat dragging him from place to place. Boy, I really miss the fall/winter/spring weather. Even with all the snow we had, at least we can bundle up. We certainly can't go around shopping half naked :)
A few months back I bought Eli a set of Sesame Street blocks on clearance that I had intended to give him on his birthday. Well, since we have been staying mostly indoors I decided to get them out so he can play with them. He LOVES them. He spent hours playing with those blocks. I was so happy to see something holding his attention for some time that I decided to get him some more (I think the first set only had about 40 pieces, not enough for me to play with him). There wasn't a very good selection of K'nex (the sesame street brand) so I got him the Lego Duplo's set. It came with 80 pieces for a decent price. I also got him a smaller zoo keeper lego set, which came with a lego zoo keeper woman, a lion, an elephant, a polar bear, and a giraffe. We've been having a good time building houses and bridges and whatever else.
