Stuffed Reindeer Massacre and Peanut Butter!

Cody celebrated his 8th birthday yesterday. I hope he enjoyed the toys he received! Simon tore one toy apart just minutes after I gave them the 2 new toys that my mom had sent. It was a stuffed reindeer massacre!

I would venture to guess that one of the highlights of Cody's day would have been when I gave each dog an empty jar of peanut butter to clean out. They both love peanut butter! Cody gets bored and moves on to something else typically when his jar is completely cleaned out. Lol! Simon on the other hand continues to clean out the jar even after it is clearly all gone. It's as if he is expecting it to replenish for him.

Simon obviously doesn't much appreciate toys that he gets. But as for Cody...he has played with only the new toys he received yesterday. I have yet today to see him play with any of his old toys. His favorite seems to be a bright yellow duck that rattles and squeaks. I guess squeaking dog toys wasn't enough the manufacturers had to add a rattle noise. Lol!!!

A short story to end with. For Cody's first birthday I bought him a stuffed birthday cake that sang 'Happy Birthday'. Big mistake!!! Cody loved hearing the music and constantly squeezed the cake in the right spot for it to start singing. It wasn't that terribly annoying to me at first but after waking up many mornings to the sound of that singing cake it got old real fast! Finally, after numerous encounters with Simon the singing mechanism inside the cake broke! Thank you Simon!
