Although my kids are pretty well past this phase (you know, since my littlest boy is the big THREE years old)…anytime I babysit for a littler guy, I’m reminded of how much they’d really rather play with anything BUT a toy!
Place a full basket of wonderful, colorful, super fun toys in front of a baby…and he’ll crawl away to play with….
1. The trash can
2. Everything that’s in the trash can
3. Your important papers
4. The telephone…and all it’s buttons
5. A kleenex box (which, of course, includes pulling all of the kleenexes OUT of the box)
6. The toilet plunger (freshly used)
7. The remote control
8. Daddy’s dirty shoes
9. His own socks (which of course, go directly to his mouth…making them too soppy to put back on)
10. Anything that has a wire attached to it and is coming out of a wall
11. All of the clean laundry that you JUST finished folding
12. Your favorite dish from your great grandmother
13. A permanent marker (any color will do)
Unfortunately…I could go on and on…
Kinda makes you re-think how much money you should really spend on a birthday gift. :)
