Pappa Johan's treasures from the past...

Johan went thru all the boxes in the basement today and organised it!! Can't wait to see it...but the icing on the cake is that he found some of his favorite books and toys from when he was just a toddler himself :)

hey sooki, long time since i wrote you a note, i have been kind of out since coming back from Japan. Anyhow, I cant believe Johan's mom kept all this things for him; it makes me wonder if I should do the same with Luca's stuff, but in NY it's impossible as you know! The good thing is that now I can pass everything to Karla so I dont feel too bad and very soon to Dan as wll so it will all stay in the family (at least for a while:)

By the way, Luca does the same thing with the stickers, he sticks this anywhere and everywhere the house including his table, just like Lukas:)

Love the race car and the airplane in particular! They don't make them as solid anymore nowadays ... 70's Matchbox/Hotwheels etc. were ALL cast metal and even the small ones had moving parts like doors and hoods.

My parents saved a lot of my old toys (and books) as well, and the children couldn't be happier playing with those every August.

I agree Ninjette, they don't make toys like they used to... we've been looking into old fischer price toys, the barn set in particular and found out they have a modern version. It looks completely different and it's much more simpler and not so nice looking....
