Sock Monkeys Print by creativethursday

I adore these sock monkeys! Not a toy, but a lovely piece of art featuring those classic cotton simians. We've purchased two prints from creativethursday's etsy store and they have both become beloved additions to our young one's art collection.

And now a poem:

To the Sock Monkey

Though you flop, arms akimbo,
and lack the flash of a Barbie (bimbo!),
I do so love you, sweet sock monkey.
You absorbed the spilt milk and are only faintly funky.

Roy Toy Classic Log Building Sets

We came close to buying this set before our daughter was even born. I think these are about the greatest building toys ever. When I was young, my specialty wasn't cabins or forts, but walls ... very, very long walls. Perhaps it had something to do with having two door-crashing younger brothers... hmmm.
