Boys and their Toys

My son has an extremely embarrassing amount of toys, for a (nearly) four year old boy he has accumulated a vast amount that really its too much, for one he doesn't play with every toy, he goes through phases on which he chooses as his favourites. The big stars at the moment is anything Power Rangers, Transformers, Ben 10: Alien Force and that is enough to keep up with, (there was Cars; Lightning McQueen etc, and that was a huge amount of cars to collect, believe me) between all those said three toys, they must border on at least 50+ characters between them...honestly these toy manufacturers know how to plug those merchandise - these kids just rake it all in and then bother us parents to buy the lot, including getting the t-shirt. My kid is also into Lazytown, ok its quite a good learning programme, and my kid can now do press-ups (even one handed!) and sit-ups, and does the dance sequence at the end - he has the moves down-pat. I seriously wonder though what next...he actually thinks Thomas is for babies now, so that has literally gone off the rails ('scuse the pun) I think Spiderman, Hulk and Iron Man is slightly edging its way - he's already a big fan of the films, he has them all on DVD - I wish though that we had a never-ending bottomless money pit, but we don't and this I spell is just the beginning...
