Thirteen favorite “toys” of the week

November 15th, 2006
  1. The wooden train from the dollar section of Target….
  2. Also the wooden fire engine from the same section….
  3. And the wooden ambulance there as well - all three were 1/2 off, the best $1.50 I’ve ever spent. They have to go everywhere with us and must sit in his carseat in the car.
  4. The Little People cars - complete with a puppy driving them. He especially likes “driving” them on his car rug.
  5. A bubble-bath-filled car (Lightning McQueen) with real wheels - drives all over my coffee table and watches the Cars DVD with great delight.
  6. Ducky, as always.
  7. Clifford, as always.
  8. A calculator, stolen from Daddy, that opens on its own when you push a button.
  9. His own slip-on shoes - taken on and off numerous times a day, usually on the wrong feet.
  10. Diaper wipes and a plastic container - endless entertainment! At least he puts them back….
  11. Daddy’s new baseball hat from work - makes for hilarity when placed on Mama’s head, apparently.
  12. The salt shaker - apparently it must not be filled with salt, for the salt must be shaken onto everything, including into Mama’s purse, to be discovered at odd moments…..
  13. The spinning light-up Nemo thingy from Disney - complete with new batteries, it is again wow-inducing.

    Oh this is too funny! I’d only add “an empty box” and “the packing materials that came in it”
    LOL

    Gotta love the simple things in life, a salt shaker and a baseball hat :)

  5. Comment by DKRaymer on November 15, 2006 10:48 pm

    What a fun list. Your little one isn’t falling for corporate marketing hype; he picks his own toys! Smart, that one! Thanks for stopping by my blog and Happy Thursday!

    I have no kids, I have cats - and I am their favorite toy. My role: warm-blooded furniture.

    Has he gotten Legos (or Duplos) yet? I love those things, even at the advanced mega-toddler age of 30-mumble. (They do hurt big-humans’ feet when trod upon, however…)

    Great list ~ thanks for stopping by!

    Baby Boy has a spinning light thing from Disney…he finally learned how to push the button himself! Thank you, thank you, thank you! My finger would get sore from him wanting me to push it all the time!

    My two year old is into spices this week. So far, I’d suddenly ran out of garlic powder, paprika and black pepper whole.

    Coincidentally, I noticed a bunch of spices near my trash can…all mixed and played out.

  12. Comment by Erica on November 15, 2006 11:17 pm

    I just saw all of the wooden trains and things in Target’s dollar section. They will make GREAT stocking stuffers. I love the dollar section.

  13. Comment by Cheysuli on November 15, 2006 11:23 pm

    I think human children require much more work. My children only thought my tail was a toy…

  14. Comment by Gabrielle on November 15, 2006 11:25 pm

    Just one thing: It only takes simple things to make a child happy - and I wish I were a child again :)

    Thanks for stopping by.

  15. Comment by meredith on November 15, 2006 11:32 pm

    All right. Gonna have to go make a trip to Target with all of that wooden toy talk in the dollar section!

    Happy TT!

  16. Comment by Michelle on November 15, 2006 11:38 pm

    Paper bags and boxes, empty spools, wooden spoons, anything but what is IN the package.

  17. Comment by Jo on November 15, 2006 11:53 pm

    I have to admit that one of the best things about teaching nursery (kindergarten) is the Lego!!!

    My TT is up there too

  18. Comment by domestic_slackstress on November 16, 2006 1:26 am

    Forget what’s in the package. The package itself is the best toy with my kids, ages 5, 3 and 2. We recently bought my daughter the Cook n Grill super deluxo play kitchen, complete with a grill, sink, microwave, cabinets, lots of cool fake food, etc. The unit cost us some $160 before shipping. All she wanted to do during the first week as the recipient of said expensive birthday gift/toy was hide out in the box giggling.

    I love that wooden train at Target! My son loved that too!

    I miss getting toys for Christmas. ;) Well, at least the less expensive ones. Now I’m all about cameras, computers, etc. Hehe.

  21. Comment by delightfulduchess on November 16, 2006 5:34 am

    I think you can spend alot of money buying toys and kids always seem to love the pots and pans and empty shoe boxes.

    Happy TT

  22. Comment by Barb on November 16, 2006 8:03 am

    So nice to hear of parents still buying the wooden toys!

  23. Comment by carmen on November 16, 2006 8:05 am

    i think you should post a pic of funny mommy with daddy’s baseball hat. ;)

  24. Comment by Nancy on November 16, 2006 10:30 am

    LOL! This is so cute. I remember the days…

  25. Comment by Sparky on November 16, 2006 10:31 am

    heh, i love those calculators that pop open with the touch of a button, so much that I um, broke one last month because i just kept pressing the button.

  26. Comment by Melissa on November 16, 2006 10:44 am

    Great list! Your little guy sounds like he keeps busy, and keeps you busy too!

    Happy TT!

  27. Comment by Missy on November 16, 2006 10:58 am

    Ah, this reminds me of some of my favorite toys from childhood. I LOVED my Pooh Bear and my Weeble Wobbles - I had the camping weeble wobbles.

  28. Comment by Caryle on November 16, 2006 11:08 am

    I confess, I take my shoes on and off throughout the day as well. :)

    Thanks for stopping by my TT!
