Toys

From _Lightroom

I have no use for CDs.  My husband is in storage, have I mentioned this?  So we convert everything to digital and store it on electronic devices.  So I have no use for most CDs.  You know who loves CDs?  The small person.

We do not have one of these toys and if we did he probably wouldn't like it as much as the CDs anyway.  And it's the same principle.

Take CD (look, a palm?  Seriously?  Who has a palm anymore?).  Place over ring.

And smush down. Repeat as desired.

This was probably a good twenty minutes of entertainment. Win for mommy. This may make the airplane ride in December.  And seriously, before you go all "inappropriate toys" on me ... this was free, I really should just throw these stupid things out anyway, and what's the harm again?

People get all judgy about kids playing with "non-toys" because it teaches them to "play" with things they should not play with.  Case and point - the remote control.  Because he can play with it at home, he thinks he can play with it at other peoples homes.  Car keys.  Toys get hidden.  Enough said.

But I really don't care.  I sort of think that the more off limits you make something, the more they want it.  And if you teach them how to "play" (use) something appropriately, I think the bloom goes off the rose and they move on.

And besides ... life is too short to worry about outdated technology.  :)
