It’s amazing how kids transition from one toy to another, sometimes in the same five minutes. Sometimes in the same minute.
My 5-year-old son is “into” trading cards – the Pokemon type. He purchased with some Easter money a holder for them last week. He HAD to have it. And seeing as he’s already misplaced some of these cards, I thought it was a good buy. He held onto it all the day he got it (Friday) and put it in his backpack for our weekend trip up north.
While he did look at it at times during the weekend, he also watched movies, ventured outside to play in the forest and read books.
But since then (mind you this is only THREE DAYS from the MUST PURCHASE day), I don’t know if he knows where it is (I took it out of his backpack so he wouldn’t lose it at school). Sunday when we got back from the cabin, he got out all his Diego toys. Last night he rode his scooter around the park, did homework and colored. This morning he had the video game on and then, when looking for a different game, he saw the Little People toys in the drawers under the TV and pulled them out to play.
In four days he’s played with just about every toy we have for at least a few minutes.
It’ll be interesting to see when he asks where his Pokemon cards are again!
