Toy Thursday - Mother's Day Off

Today is Thursday and that means a new toy!

Toy Thursday is all about a toy or piece of equipment my wife and I have found useful.  Again, I can't guarantee your results will be exactly the same, I'm just throwing out an opinion and what has worked for us and others we know.

Today's Toy Thursday is going to be a little different.  It is a day to give Mothers some time off!  Sunday is Mother's day, so Dads, here are 5 things to help you when you give your wife a break!

1. Gyro Bowl - The Spill Resistant Kids Gyroscopic Bowl with Lid

Dads, get this.  While you give your wife a break, you can let your little one munch done on some goldfish.  Plus, when you get bored

For some reason this thing did not get that great of reviews on Amazon.  I have to say though, it worked for us.  My daughter walks around the house without a care in the world with her little snacks.  A lot less spills for Mom!  We do have to be careful though.  We are on our second Gyro Bowl when my daughter through it off her highchair and one of the plastic pieces on the inside broke.  So keep it away from heights!

2. Boppy Pillow with Slipcover

This one is to save your arm.  If you have ever hold an infant or toddler for any length of time, you know it is only a matter of time before your arm falls off.  This is the pillow that will save you.  Enough said.

3. Cheap Inflatable Ball

Yes, one of these.  I can't even post a link, because the only place to find these $2 balls is at your local grocery shop and maybe a Walmart.  Kids love these things though!  This is hours of running around and chasing and playing!  Dads definitely need this, for entertaining the kids, and also it is some good exercise!  Give Mom a break and get in shape all at the same time.

4. Roku Box

This one is for helping Dad cool down with the kids after running around chasing that ball.  The Roku Box Can stream all sorts of services that you already subscribe to like Netflix and Hulu Plus.  Netflix has all sorts of family movies and TV shows, including stuff like Sesame Street and Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heros.  It is also a great way for Mom to get some alone time and watch a movie she will enjoy!  It is a gateway to get the things you already have on your computer to your TV for pretty cheap.

5. Kindle Touch

This one is for your wife.  While she is taking a break she can read!  If reading isn't necessarily her thing, you could always go the Apple iPad route.

So Dads, give mom a break this Mothers day!

And everyone stay tuned to our next adventure this Tuesday!
