We don't buy Korbyn a lot of things, in fact we've never really bought anything big for her, and when I say big I mean anything more than a $10 toy at Walmart!
Since she's getting older and so much more active and we'll be home for the summer we decided it was time for a playhouse. The poor thing had to look at it for two days before she could play on it! Colton set it up one night when I had a meeting, then the next night we all got home past dark. And we wanted to capture her reaction, so wonderful! This was the first time that we let her run out to it and play on it.
She loves this house! Every single day since we got it for her she plays on it. When we get home from school I give her some water and her snack on her little table and she thinks it's the best thing ever.
The only thing is there isn't any room behind the slide to sit down and get her legs out from underneath her. The slide at school she has no problem with, but that's because there's about two feet of space for her to sit down, this one doesn't have that. So we still have to help her a little bit when she goes down the slide. I've been trying to teach her how to do it herself, so one day she's trying and she slips and goes down head first and just laughed all the way down! I of course laughed and clapped my hands so now that's how she goes down it, head first!
We then bought her a little pool for the backyard. We waded around in it one afternoon, then shortly after that we had a storm and the darn tree branch landed smack dab in the middle of the pool! It was trash after that because it had ripped so many holes in the plastic, at least we got to use it one time.
Korbyn saw the tree when I had taken this picture and she kept pointing to it saying "tee!" I said "yes, the tree fell in the pool...oh no!" Mind you this happened either at the end of April or beginning of May, and she still will say "han" (that's when she wants you to take her hand so she can lead you to whatever she wants to show you) and lead me to the backyard and point and say "poo?" (pool) then I'll say "oh no what happened to the pool?" she'll say "appen?" with her arms out then she'll point to the tree and say "tee, a men" (tree, aww man)! It cracks me up because it's like she's telling me this story and she knows exactly what happened.
Then we finally broke down and bought her screens for our vehicles. I kind of hate that we did (because I don't want my kid to grow up in front of a tv!) but if you've ever ridden in a vehicle more than five minutes with her you would have bought these things a long time ago. We really decided to buy them when we had our trip to Dallas coming up and we knew that it was going to be horrendous if we didn't have something to entertain her. We put Elmo on and didn't hear a peep all the way there! Colton and I both decided it has been by far the best investment we've ever made!!! This picture was of her watching them for the first time. We were in Bastrop and of course daddy had to set it all up in the parking lot for her. She was in that exact pose for probably 10 minutes just fascinated.
