I got a kick out of this demo that shows how to make a base out of Fisher Price trio toys that would hold Brio bricks. Check it out.

My son (and I, I have to admit) have been fans of Yo Gabba Gabba for more than a year now. We don’t watch a lot of television, but when we do, it’s usually Yo Gabba Gabba. We love the music, the characters and of course the special guests. When we heard they were going on tour, and would be performing at a town near us, I knew we had to go. We had since indoctrinated Mommy, and after a few big events such as a They Might Be Giants kids concert and a major league baseball game, we knew our three year old was ready for the show. I got online to buy tickets as soon as they went on sale, and nabbed seats in the center of the fourth row. Click below to read my review of the show, and don’t forget our chances to win tickets to go see the show yourself!

My son is about two and three quarters (ah those were the days) and he just got into Play-Doh. He set his eye on the Coco-Nutty Monkey one visit to Toys R Us. We were having serious discussions about potty training so we picked up the mnkey, and told him he could play with it as soon as he gave up diapers. Three weeks later, we haven’t had an “accident” in days and someone is looooving their Coco-nutty monkey. Check out my pics and review below.

Step2.com sent us their Play Up Adjustable Sand & Water Table. One of the key features is that the legs are easily adjustable so you can raise the table height to grow with your child. It also features an umbrella to protect against the sun, and an easy to attach cover to protect it from the elements. Click below to see my pics and review.
