We do buy our child real toys...

[fibergeek]

..... Though some days I wonder why.  Yesterday he really really wanted to play with a spatula and my glasses case.  He refused actual toys to beg for the spatula.  And yeah, I gave it to him.  He played with my glasses case all the way home from trader joes (had to get coffee) last night.  Actually pushed aside real toys for the silly thing.  We also have to hide the vaccume from him, as he thinks it is THE BEST THING EVER!tm  I wonder if that facination will last until he is actually big enough to vaccume the floors.....  Hmmm, I'm probably not that lucky.
