We realised, quite suddenly, that the Rabie has absolutely no interactive toys! Well I mean we have a rattle or 10 and I 'made' a toy by filling a bottle with coloured bits of foam and beads (yet another use for Mardi Gras beads!) so that he could lay on the floor and push it around and it would be semi ...fun or something.
But I mean the types of toy that a baby can twist, roll, bash and it does something nuts - you know, the ones that make weird noises that is supposed to be a turtle but really is not a turtle sound at all. The ones that can get on your nerves quickly with their irritating 'all the animals have something to saaaaay' singsong.
I guess we had both thought he might be still a little too young to get much enjoyment out of one of these things but 2 seconds on the ground of Kyle and Jody's lounge with his cousins pulling out all sorts of weird and wonderful contraptions and he was right into it. Bashing little pop-a-matic style things with coloured balls popping, spinning wheels of annoying singsongy plastic junk thingyames and generally having a great time trying to get all these bright things into his mouth to chew.
OMG it was fun to watch! We HAD to get one of these spinning wheels of annoying singsongy plastic junk thingyames for him to play with at home!
So we did.
And he LOVES it.
And now I'm sitting here with its stupid little diddy rattling around in my brain :(
