Yesterday I set Roo down on the futon, dumped out her clean laundry on the other end, tossed her a sock, and had time to sort and put away all her laundry because, as far as she was concerned, a sock was the BEST TOY EVER!

I wish I could get that excited about a sock...

That's wouldn't have worked with Squiggle; he'd want to play with ALL of the socks.

5 hours sitting for Crime Fighter last week, and I think he played with a legit "toy" once!

This is why we don't buy toys. Other people will get us toys, but we knew better.

I know, right?? Give him a disposable water bottle (esp. if it makes crinkle noises) or an egg carton or a spooooooon!
Babies are awesome.

Today, socks. Tomorrow, cardboard boxes!

Seriously for a moment: I was once at a design workshop where the instructor asked people to brainstorm a list of things they could do with a paperclip. (Try it yourself for a moment before reading on, if you like.)

The mean number of suggestions was in the low 30s, with a high of 50.

Then he told us that he gave this same question to a group of 5th graders. Their mean number of suggestions approached 200 (I forget the exact number).

Kids have awesome minds, truly.
