remembering

its a Saturday afternoon... and I am spending it with my sonna. we had lunch of leftovers... and watched his tv shows some. home bound coz of the bug we still seem to host... we are both soon bored.

we head upstairs... and he spots a piano stashed away at the back of his closet. i need to pull 10 things out of the way.. before i can get to the pink piano... which i know is broke. enroute to the pink piano, we pull out a pink cubby stowed away.. filled with toys the kids don't play with no more.

pretty soon... the two of us are lost. i am gathering all the wooden animal puzzle pieces... and my sonna is going for the blocks. we find alphabet magnets... a take home gift from my pal's twins first bday. As i stumble on each alphabet i hold it up and ask rynu what it is... and he gets them right each time. i am amazed... my kid knows his alphabets and most of the numbers too. woo-hoo! smart kid that!
i start collecting them... am missing 7 of the 26. EEE!

pretty soon we have piles of plastic building blocks, wooden blocks and alphabet magnets, pieces of one giant puzzle, and an assortment of Disney and nick jr characters. i even spot some of my missing jewelry :)
Oh! and we found a blue watch... which ryan sports and says he loves.
it was an x-mas gift from 3 yrs back ...to rave from her best friend.

ryan finds a snow white hair band and insists i wear it. i put it on... n ask him 'how do i look?' he goes... 'jusss like cinderella' :)

every toy.. has a memory attached to it. some broken... and i don't have the heart to throw it out. .. i am goign down memory lane remembering n feeling all nostalgic.
why is remembering so hard to forget?
