Define "Toy"

For babies, the possibilities for fun and exploration are endless.


Who says a hanger only serves one purpose? It could be a chew toy . . .

. . . or a dancing accessory.

It's only as we grow older that we forget that even everyday objects can be fascinating. Thanks for reminding me, Joy.

One of the best activities I ever had in school was when a teacher asked the class to come up with a list of creative ways to use a driver's license. We thought of cutting cheese, scraping windows, using it to scratch your arm, using it to clean out the gunk in grout, and the list went on and on.

I'm not sure if I'd be able to come up with a list as good as the one I made as an adolescent, but as long as there are babies around to remind me to look at things in unusual ways, I think I'll be okay. Thanks for the reminder, Joy.

The world is a pretty fascinating place, if you take the time to enjoy it. I think that's one reason little kids are so intrigued by simple things--they're not in a hurry, so they don't overlook them like we grown-ups often do.

I just realized that Joy's onesie says "Hottie". I'm betting that neither you nor Phillip picked that out. My guess would be a gift from Aunt Heather perhaps. (?)

Oh.. whoops. I just enlarged the pic. Turns out it says "cutie". That makes more sense. :) I was beginning to wonder what the world is coming to when six-year olds wear mini skirts and babies wear onesies that say "Hottie". James once bought Georgia a pair of those little bootie shorts that have writing across the rear end. They were from Old Navy and said "Cutie Pie". I was never a fan of those shorts and had a super hard time letting my 6 month old wear them...

Of course this comment is niether here nor there, especially since the onesie doesn't even say what I thought it did.

I'm going to stop typing now...
