Cora is sitting here and I'm trying to keep her entertained with this Leap Frog piano toy that has lights, sounds, a mirror, and "piano keys" that play music and teach shapes and colors. She likes it, but I just watched her get distracted from it by a cat hair on the couch.
Fancy, electronic toy...cat hair...flashy piano toy...cat hair. I can see how that would be a tough call.
And of all the toys she's ever played with, the ones that have lasted the longest and captivated her for the most amount of time are measuring cups. Plain old plastic measuring cups. My grandparents can attest, she can sit in my grandmother's high chair from when she was a baby (as she is seen doing here) and play with those suckers for forever.
(oh, and sometimes measuring spoons)
Her penchant for the low-tech joys in life is reassuring: perhaps this whole kid thing won't be quite as expensive an endeavor as we thought.
Yeah right!
Ha, ha, wait unti she wants a camera, phone, or car. Things can only get better with time.
