While we were in Cleveland for the baby shower our friends Carl and Karen invited us over to their house and gave Asher his first birthday gifts. So exciting!
I mentioned last week that Asher is currently in love with books. In a bid to save me from the inevitable sanity break that will come if I have to read "Blue Hat, Green Hat" one more time, C and K got Asher some new stories - yay! These dinosaur books are so cute - and teach a good lesson, to boot. I've never seen them before, but we'll definitely looking for the rest of the series!
Asher also got a new race car. It sings, rolls, and honks, all at one volume - LOUD. Ha - so much for saving my sanity. :o)
Seriously though - he loves it. In fact, there was only one thing he received that got higher marks than the race car and books...
The bows!!
Karen put some bows on the packages and Asher loved them! He couldn't get enough - there was clapping of the bows, there was sticking the bows to the coffee table. Ash handed them to every one and looked very disappointed if they didn't visibly get as much enjoyment out of the bows as he did.
So, if anyone is still wondering what Asher would like for a gift, here's what I recommend: an empty box wrapped up with a bow on top. Can't go wrong.
Thanks for thinking of him and celebrating Asher's first year with us Carl and Karen!
One level: Loud. I had to laugh out loud on that one. Isn't that the truth with most of our little kiddos' toys? Everett's favorite to is the loudest one, imagine that.
