Last weekend Henry discovered a love for his Johnny Jumper. Are any of you out there old enough to remember these things? I don't even know if they still make them, but Henry, under direct supervision, absolutely LOVES this thing. He started out jumping on it with one foot planted firmly on the floor and would swing around with his extended foot to give him so umph....He has sinced moved on to more a Tigger move where to take both feet and launches himself off the ground all the while giving the cutest little scream. Right now he actually refers this to his other toy a Fisher Price Jumperoo. I think he's a little overwhelmed by all the sounds and toys. It's it amazing the expensive nice new toy dosen't have the same appeal as the 5 dollar garage sale find. Go figure, right?

Oh, it just gets worse from here. Some day you'll buy him an expensive, elaborate toy that you think is AWESOME...and he'll play with it for a few minutes and then come to you, asking for some scissors and tape. When you ask why, he'll tell you that he's going to make the box into a helmet.
This Christmas, especially, I bet he'll be more psyched about the wrapping paper and bows than ANYTHING you buy him! Kids are crazy like that...(but cute like that! haha)
Hudson is still crazy about his Jumperoo, but Peyton always loved the old-school Johnny Jump-up. I actually noticed that WalMart carries a "Jenny Jump-up" for girls that's pink. *eyeroll* As if a baby cares whether her toy is pink or blue!!
I couldn't agree with you more lady! I have the same experience. Henry prefers his Johnny Jumper that Matt's mom found at a garage sale for 5 bucks...go figure, right?
