Toy Store Day!

Hope everyone had an amazing holiday! We are doing our routine toy store day to clear out tthe toy clutter. Every toy in our home is moved to our family room. I set up a toy store. The wee ones use our toy shopping carts to buy their favorites. They can continue shopping until the toy shelves are full. The remaining toys are donated to charity. I'm always surprised by a few choices. I'm thrilled that the handmade dolls were among the treasures that found a scarce piece of shelf real estate. But I'm also a bit sad to see others go. We have a potty training doll that served as a great tool during that transition. That doll spent plenty of time roll playing the fine details of when, how and why. My little princess is long removed from potty training but always treated the doll with the fondness of an old friend. P has decided she is ready to let the doll move on... so I guess I have to be a grown up about it. I'll just snuggle a bit more before she packs it away.
