BabyLand

Come along on a trip to the most magical part of Tin Woodsman. Well the cutest part anyway! Walk in past the office, just a little down the hallway, and turn left...into BabyLand...

Well, it's a lot more fun when the babies are there. But they were out for a walk when I snapped this photo.
Oh, here they are!

Tin Woodsman has always had a real family feeling, but recently it's been taken to a new level, with the addition of a small nursery for employee's children. The current residents of BabyLand are Oliver, son of Matt and Nancy (Tin Woodsman's Production Manager & Office Manager), and Anna, daughter of Kathryn and Corey (Tin Woodsman Family Friends!).

The caretakers of these two adorable little children are Sherry and Kira. When Sherry is not on Baby duty, you'll find her in the shipping room, sending pewter out across America. Here she is enjoying Anna's company:

And Kira can often be found helping in the office, as well as packaging many Tin Woodsman products. But we all know what their favorite parts of the day are. Here's Kira, also with Anna- in the cutest of crazy cute hats!


Is there anything better than watching little people grow and develop on their way to becoming big people? Well, maybe watching them do it in funny hats. And especially when they get food all over their faces... oh it's wild and crazy and funny around here. Yes, I'm not afraid to admit we laugh at children regularly!
The little munchkins sometimes sneak out and visit us in our offices. (Just offices, no dangerous production areas, EVER! We promise. Hey, we love these guys. We're keepin' em safe. And always OSHA compliant.) It's just one of the things that makes this a very special place to work! So, please, when you call and there are strange noises in the background, don't think less of us.

Here's Oliver pushing Anna in the Radio Flyer Wagon, on their way out to visit. Anyone else want a ride?
Ooh, don't you just want to squeeze them? Are you ready to faint from cuteness overload?! We deal with this everyday! You don't feel one bit sorry for us, do you? (That's ok, you really shouldn't)
We'll blog about the adventures of BabyLand pretty regularly. Sherry and Kira are both very anxious to act as guest bloggers. Come back often and watch them grow! (Aren't we lucky? Thank you to Jim and Deborah for providing this kind of work environment! Seriously. :))
