My Kids Try Out Bobbi-Toads Kids’ Shoes with Bobbi-Dobbiez Clip-On Stuffed Animals

As Labor Day Weekend began, a mysterious box had arrived at our door. Remembering that Bobbi-Toads had reached out to me the week before, offering to let my kids try out their brand of shoes, I decided to let him open their surprise right away.

The look on my daughter’s face makes it clear how excited to she was to get her surprise.

She got a pair of size 7 Pollipop Purple Panda shoes with matching Purple Panda Bobbi-Dobbiez, while my son got the 4 Boomz in size 3.

Once they both put on their new shoes, they instinctively began running across the house. I shot this little video to capture the action:

My daughter especially liked how the toes lit up in rainbow colors- and how she was able to attach her “baby bear” on to her shoes.

It is plain to see that my kids naturally loved receiving their new Bobbi-Toads and Bobbi-Dobbiez.

If you would like to buy some for your own kids, or maybe as a gift, here’s a link to check out their website:

Thanks for checking them out today!

Dear Holly: It’s Fun to Climb Ladders When You Shouldn’t

2 years, 4 months.

Dear Holly,

Over the weekend as we were in the process of repainting some of the rooms in our house, I didn’t realize that you were watching with great curiosity as Mommy and I took turns climbing the ladder, as we painted the higher parts of the walls near the ceiling.

So the first chance you got, you made your way over to the ladder and made it to the 3rd rung before announcing, “I climb!”

It’s fun to climb a ladder when you shouldn’t. You had the most fun, though, when Mommy helped you climb all the way to the top. You could have just hung out up there for an hour if you had the chance.

When you’re a bit older, we’ll be happy to let you climb that ladder and help with the painting!

Love,

Daddy

Dear Jack: Combining Beyblades and Jenga Blocks Was a Good Idea

7 years, 9 months.

I didn’t even know what a Beyblade was until about 2 weeks ago. But now you have 3 of them.

And this past weekend you literally spent hours spinning these little propelled tops across the kitchen floor, attempting to crash down Jenga towers that you would build.

It’s the kind of self-invented activity I love to see on a Sunday afternoon. And even when you finally got ready to change things up, you learned that the Jenga blocks make perfect dominoes.

Your sister even took notice and decided to make a bed for some of her smaller stuffed animals.

Good thing Mommy suggested you go through the closet and find a game to play. You made the original Jenga even better!

Dear Jack,

Love,

Daddy
