A couple of weeks ago I realized that Henry was suddenly a big boy and I felt like I needed to replace a lot of his baby toys with something more developmentally appropriate. So I bought a few things and a friend of mine dropped off a ton of big toys her kids have outgrown. I have been excited to see how he would react to all his new baby swag. Here are his five favorite toys in no particular order:
- Empty water bottles
- Empty chip bags
- Granola bar wrappers
- Cell phones
- Remote controls
As you can see, none of these are intended for baby play. I'm glad I got most of his new toys from a friend instead of spending a ton of money on toys that he enjoys slightly less than a used Ziplock bag. This is why experienced moms don't buy pretty new things for their babies. Even those of us who can afford not to tend to shop at consignment shops for baby items. I think Henry's next new toy will be an empty bread crumb canister filled with nickels.
I used my new iPhone to take this picture of Henry chewing on an empty water bottle. I have a new iPhone because Henry spit was not compatible with my old phone. We'll call that a happy accident.
