Deidra says Thank You

Hi Abba. When we moved into this house, we told Deidra that it was time to give up some of her baby stuff. We had saved every toy that she's ever had thinking that we would have had another sibling for her to play with a lot sooner. We told her that we needed to go through her stuff and figure out what we were going to keep and what she was willing to part with.

At first she was very resistant to the idea. She'd start crying when we'd try to sort her stuff and I thought that it was just because she didn't want to part with her toys. Some of this stuff had been in storage for so long, it was like Christmas again for her to see all the stuff that she had. Anyway, one day she broke down and said to me, "Mommy, I want to give some stuff to my baby sister and brother and I can't if I give it all away." Talk about making mommy teary eyed. Anyway, I sat a tote aside that was empty with some of my favorite baby outfits in it and I told Deidra that she could pick a handful of toys out to save for them and that made it all better. She's got such a big heart and she's so ready to be a big sister.

Anyway, she's been wanting to get some toys for the backyard and since she's in gymnastics she desperately wants a trampoline. We told her that she could have the money that she earns off the sales of her old toys and she can buy whatever she wants with that money. They're only $150 at Sam's. She's already sold about $20 worth and is absolutely thrilled. We're putting the money aside for her so she can buy her trampoline. :-) I told her that if she earns enough for the trampoline, we'll go ahead and buy her the side netting that goes around it so nobody falls off the side of it for her. If anyone wants to help Deidra out with her goal her toy aisle in my ebay store is

she'd love to have your business!


Anyway, Deidra says a big thank you for giving her some sales and we say thank you for helping us to alleviate some of the clutter. :-) Help her bring home that trampoline soon, Abba. We thank you and love you for all that you do for our family!
