Daniel's Workshop

For quite some time now I have been wanting to find some sort of pretend play set for Daniel.  I scoured Craigslist hoping to find some deals there, but was only able to find play kitchens, and they were all more than I wanted to pay.  Josue said that would be "ok", but he'd really rather not get a kitchen for his boy.  Hint, hint. 

So I took it and started looking for tool benches etc.  But again with no luck.  After an afternoon at the playground with my Mom, we went to Rita's for italian water ice and then dropped into Goodwill to see if they had anything worthwhile.

Now, this particular Goodwill is typically more expensive than the other's in our area and so I really don't bother stopping there often.  But, low and behold, that day they had two Little Tykes Workshop sets!  And I was able to get one for Daniel.

The Workshop after Mommy spent an hour dousing it with antibacterial cleaner!

Now, it may not seem like a big deal.  But kid's toys cost a lot new, and they grow so quickly that they soon move on to other things.  I really count it as a blessing from God that he provided this for Daniel.  What an amazing thing it is for me to see how God provides the simplest things for his children and deeply blesses my heart as a mother at the same time! 

Here are some pics of Daniel playing with his new Workshop!

The phone is probably his favorite part of the set right now. 

He always brings it to me or Josue and INSISTS that we talk to Grammie! 

Taking pictures of Daniel is getting to be really hard b/c before we can even snap the picture he insists to "SEE!" - to see the screen.  It's pretty hard to get smiling pictures now.  He is exclaiming "See!" here :)

  

If I can I'll upload a video of him playing with it too....
