The 15 month old grandson was over for a visit yesterday. He had enjoyed playing with measuring cups and spoons from the kitchen cupboards, until his 9 year old brother pulled out his old toy box that he has kept at our house since he was a toddler. When I told the 9 year old he should donate his toys to a shelter last year, he told me he was saving them for his brother. I’m glad he did.
Our sons used to play with little cars, then the 9 year old grandson, and now the 15 month old grandson. And it still hurts when you don’t see one of those cars and step on it!
Thanks Jake, for a fun challenge http://jakesprinters.wordpress.com/2012/10/13/sunday-post-toys/

That’s so cute that he said he was saving them. My nephew is a child hoarder and wouldn’t give anything up to anybody.

At the time I really thought he should give them up. He was right all along. At Christmas we are going to buy toys to take to kids in need.
