More Toys

Auntie Hill gave Grace and Isaac each a $25 gift card to Toys R Us. We went last Friday for our shopping spree. As expected Grace chose a baby carriage. The bed is detachable so she can sleep her baby anywhere. She loves the carriage and wants to take it everywhere. I cannot wait until she asks me to take it to the mall with us. Also as expected Isaac chose a vacuum. He chose the 'Dirt Devil' Power Vac. He can turn the vacuum on and off and knows how to move it back and forth like a real pro. It is still no substitute for the real mccoy- but he makes due. There was a Dyson for sale as well and it actually had suction power- but only through the detachable hose (only Dyson would even make a real working children's vacuum with a detachable hose). Anyway, fortunately Isaac is not a vacuum snob and went with the working man's appliance. Besides, detaching and reattaching the hose would have been a pain in the rear for me. Ironically Sid's first vacuum was a Dirt Devil. Unfortunately it didn't see a whole lot of action until I came into the picture, but looks like Isaac might actually be able to help around the house when he grows up. Novel.
