One day I was shopping in Michael’s Craft store and Bea was acting a little fussy. I was worried I wouldn’t make it home without a toddler meltdown. So I threw a bag of pom poms in the cart thinking they would satisfy her for our 20-minute drive home. That one time use – keeping her conent during our drive home would have been worth the $5.00 I spent.
Who knew they would end up being one of her favorite and longest lasting toys. I don’t see the particular package I bought on the Michael’s web site. There must be around 100 pom poms in assorted colors and sizes. Everyday she asks to play with her Fluffies (that’s what we call them). Lately when she tries to pronounce fluffy it sounds kinda like a variation on a curse word – I won’t type it, you can guess. She throws them around and puts them in containers and transfers them to other containers with plastic spoons and on and on. She never seems to get tired of them. I hope she will have fun sorting the colors and sizes when she gets a little older. When Jenna was visiting earlier this summer she and Bea played side by side with the fluffies for what seemed like a very long time considering their toddler attention spans and their propensity for fighting over toys. Look at that smile on Jenna’s face below.
