I didn't let them have little lego for years and years because of the toy eaters, but I finally realized that I will always have toy eaters, and little lego is just cool. So the 13 year old tries to be vigilant about putting every single little piece away, the 3 year old begs to be allowed to "make some of the menchies go" and we happily own a lot of little lego and will let them acquire more. sadly, we only ever had one playmobil set, but now after hearing you wax so eloquently about it, I'm considering letting more find its way into my household.<br /><br />Oh, and I currently have zero pack'n'plays but I do have two perfectly good pack'n'play mattresses (no, one was leaked on by an air conditioner. but the other one should still be perfectly good!) If only it were convenient to get it to you, because it's not useful to me -- were I to buy a new one, it would come with a new mattress. Would the cost of shipping be enough less than purchase price and shipping that it would be worth it for me to send you ours?miriamphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14339767447913960853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13294304.post-63255012209785633342010-06-21T10:32:56.808-04:002010-06-21T10:32:56.808-04:00Me too.

That was 15 years ago.<br /><br />But they are keepers. I liked playing with them. They are worth the money.<br /><br />There is a (larger than I would wish) part of me that is jealous about all the great toys and opportunities my children have that I never had. So when they are ungrateful, it grates.Deborahhttp://jpm14.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13294304.post-2194373993245792912010-06-18T11:36:27.047-04:002010-06-18T11:36:27.047-04:00The great thing about playmobil is that they play ...The great thing about playmobil is that they play with it in different ways as they grow so it lasts almost forever. My very grown up and independent 17 year old son won't part with the pirate island that's now almost stripped bare because of all the cities and worlds he used it for with his younger sister and best friend and the mountains of pokemon figures he was given in his early teens. I was never a big pokemon fan, but "pok-e-town", a creation that spanned his entire large bedroom for weeks with elaborate month-long plots was an amazing creation. My advise, buy the playmobile and enjoy every minute of your children's creative play for years and years. It's a small price to pay, really.Wendynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13294304.post-55230686843930536052010-06-18T10:06:53.927-04:002010-06-18T10:06:53.927-04:00Another thought on the Playmobil...Moving is a dif...Another thought on the Playmobil...Moving is a difficult time for everyone.

I think it's because really we expect grandparents to do the splurging on toys and we don't have that. If you consider the babysitting $$ you'd spend keeping the kids out of your hair so you can pack, etc, it's really very cheap in the long run.Naominoreply@blogger.com
