Ryder was on cloud 9 all day and requested snow cones topped with whipped cream in lieu of birthday cake this 12 months and while you’re the birthday boy, that’s precisely what you get! I’m nonetheless planning to share a 6-year-old replace about Ryder (I actually love writing them for my very own reminiscences) although I’m not certain the way it’s potential that my little brown-eyed mohawked child boy is SIX. How!?
One other mother and I had an excellent giggle over these watermelon ball pool toys on the pool this week as a result of clearly we have been each focused by the identical Amazon advert and couldn’t resist including them to our carts.

The balls are made in a approach that allows you to go them underwater (a HUGE hit for our large youngsters who loooove underwater time), dribble them underwater, and so on. They’ve had one of the best time making a bunch of various video games and challenges with these pool toys they usually’ll completely be a go-to reward for me to offer to their pals with summer season birthdays this 12 months. Notice: I’m actually glad I acquired the two pack of watermelon balls that features the smaller rainbow ball as a result of that one is a little bit simpler for youthful youngsters to handle.

There’s additionally sufficient material to tie it up and put on it as a costume coverup on the pool as properly. It washes properly and I couldn’t resist ordering it in one other coloration to offer me some choices since I’ve been carrying it to the pool every day.
