Recently my parents have freshened up Avery’s toy choices at their house by giving her some new-to-her toys.

This huge pile of Barbies used to belong to me and my sister, Karen. A few years ago, Karen and I went through our Barbie collection and pared it down to the dolls with all their legs, arms and heads. It’s fun to see Avery playing with these Barbies. A lot of memories come flooding back when I see these dolls.

Avery loves to line up her toys and books. So Grandma helped her position the Barbies here.
While looking at a Christmas toy catalog, Avery saw a trampoline made just for kids. She has played on one before. So when she got excited and shouted, “Trampoline!” Grandpa knew she’d love to use his old exercise trampoline.
I think Avery is getting more use out of it than Grandpa ever did!
