We felt bad for Tristan, so...

Yeah, it definitely sucks to be sick and have surgery, but is it really all that bad when you get a bunch of new toys out of the whole deal?

Tristan's Grandma Mildred bought him a new Elmo table and chair set a few days after his surgery, which he absolutely LOVES! A few of his freinds have table and chair sets and it is the first thing he goes to when visiting them. Originally I was going to put it in his room in the corner, but it has ended up in the living room (along with everything else it seems). He is always at his table drinking, eating, watching TV, etc. so it didn't make sense to move it. He actually now eats pretty much all of his meals at his table because he refuses to sit in a highchair anymore...such a stubborn little thing!

Who needs chairs when you can just sit on the table?

He didn't even spill any yogurt!


In addition to his new table and chairs, Tristan also got a slide that Victor and I bought him. And, I am glad to say this was also an excellent buy...he loves it as well! On the 4th of July he kept going up and down the slide at his friend Knox's house and we figured if he liked it that much he probably needed one of his own. We actually bought it a few days before his surgery so he got to play with it prior to feeling so lousy. He got up the rock crawl side on the first try and went sliding down immediately. After a few ups and downs he was able to jet up the crawl and down the slide within seconds and he has now mastered the art of climbing up the slide and scooting down the crawl side. He even ate his lunch at the top of the slide the first day because we couldn't get him off...silly boy!

Got up on his first attempt

Made it to the top

Peek-a-boo I see you

Not sure about that first slide down

King of the slide

Weeeeee

And jump off

Mmnnnn, good

Gotta wash it all down


All in all, two excellent buys and highly recommended products for any young toddler!!!!
