So pretty much all of my free time during this first week and a half of 2013 has been spent reorganizing/purging our overabundance of STUFF in preparation for listing and (fingers and toes crossed) selling our house before we have to pick up and leave town in June. Lots of toys and gear and whatnot is being posted to Craigslist, in the hopes that we can find them happier homes (while simultaneously finding ourselves a few extra dollars). I dropped off a large load at Goodwill right before Christmas, but have since found more to donate and just sent Brett off with another three full bags. Amidst all the thing-moving, I came upon our exersaucer tucked away in the basement closet and realized it probably wasn't too early to bust it out for Maloney Baloney. Of course, the brightly-colored, massive object immediately attracted the attention of her big brothers, who temporarily regressed and had a ball pushing music-making buttons, spinning spinners, etc. I waited until after yesterday's afternoon nap to put our girl in her madhouse funhouse for the first time.
"Whoa. Just whoa."
"There's a lot going on here, Mommy."
Leaning back to get a better view.
Kaiser really wanted her to play with the little iPod.
Biggest Brother was there to show her how everything worked.
Porter was helpful, too.
"I'm more interesting to these boys when I'm in this thing, huh?"
"Is playtime over yet???"
"No, seriously -- can I please get out now?"
As you can imagine, Sister's first experience in the exersaucer was a tad overwhelming. I've always called it stimulation overload! If she's anything like her brothers, though, she'll come around after a couple of stretches in there, and be bouncing and turning and grabbing (and hopefully, smiling) before we know it!
