Top Ten "Toys" That Are Better Than Items Truly Meant for Babies:
1. Jake - What's better than an adoring Golden Retriever? Fur to pull, paws to suck on, eyeballs to poke!
2. Pens - Mommy's busy grading schoolwork, while Sweet Pea's busy getting Mommy's pen.
3. Keys - Mommy's busy bargain shopping, while Sweet Pea's focused on digging the keys out from inside Mommy's fuzzy scarf and putting them where they "should" be, in Sweet Pea's mouth!
4. Wash Basket - A colorful piano, linkadoos and taggie rattles are all left behind for the amazingness of a Wash Basket. What a remarkable invention!
5. Furniture - The world's largest teething toys.
6. Crinkly Wrappers - Sweet Pea takes our Thou Shalt Not Litter law seriously... except the offending litter, goes straight to the mouth!
7. Watch - It's shiny. It feels good on the gums. Deal sealed as baby toy.
8. Tablecloth - Would Mommy just LOVE to hold her plate in her lap instead of on the table? Sweet Pea thinks so. Yank. Done.
9. Measuring Cups - Mommy flatters herself that this is really the love all things culinary beginning in little Sweet Pea. It worked for Skeeter, Scooter and Skipper, didn't it?!
10. Paper - Schoolwork, bills, scrap paper, books, it doesn't matter... fascinating and definitely tasty!
And with only 56 days to Christmas, we'll buy her snazzy new toys and she'll play with the wrapping paper I'm sure! Perhaps, we should rethink this...
