My pal Meg likes to make lists. This morning, as I was playing with Z, I was reminded of some of his favorite things, so I threw them together in a list.
Richard Scarry Busytown poster - I sit in the chair with him standing on my lap and he climbs my chest to stand on my shoulders and face to get a better view - when he gets to the top, he flaps his arms and coos in glee. The best part? The poster is Jen’s from when she was a kid that we had reframed.
Trucks - He loves them. Garbage day is the best in his world
Apple Mango Tango - He has it for breakfast, a couple cubes of apple, one of mango and he’s off
Ikea Sparka Soccer Ball - This is, quite possibly, the GREATEST children’s toy ever created. It’s a super super soft soccer ball that is machine washable. We can throw it back and forth, he can chew on it and it is his favourite toy. Bar none.
Eating things - He’s teething, so everything goes in his mouth
Silvery fish - He loves standing at the windows of the Aquarium waving as the salmon swim past
Books by Sandra Boynton or Olivier Dunrea - He loves the ones about Hippos and Gertie

Hey Buzz,
I love this list and I LOVE Richard Scarry’s Busytown. It was my favourite when I was a kid too. Now Csilla reads my old books (which my mom thankfully kept all these years). We even got her a couple of busytown books in Hungarian! Did you know CBC kids has Busytown Mysteries on every morning? They’re awesome.
As for Ikea… some of Csilla’s favourite ’stuffie’ toys are from there, although I’ve never seen the Sparka soccer ball. I have no idea how we missed it.
Love the looks of Z’s room… blue and brown… hmmm. I think I love those colours.
