I guess they now understand that we kids DONOT need all the expensive toys. We are just happy with the discarded plastic containers, petroleum jelly can, permanant markers, old magazines to tear pages off in tiny pieces, jump from the sofa to the floor and lots of HUGS and TEARS in between.
Here are some of the stuff that I DO with my non-Toys.
I Can't Believe it's Butter!! But the container sure is a nice HAT.
PS. My greatgrand maa washed it to use for moongfali storage. I found a better use of it - as a HAT.
I like to climb on the sofa and jump or slide off of it. My parents have put a layer of 4 sleeping bags on the floor for my soft-landing :).
I Like to pour water in and out of water bottles. It is great fun.
And drink a bit in-between. Do you like my Real-Cap. I loved it so much that I must have gone to sleep with the cap on. But it disappeared after few days. Must be my mom, may be she wanted to get rid of my Hat-addiction.
Oh Yeah! I do clean up after myself. That way I can make as much mess as I want. I tell you...Cleaning is fun but making a mess is even more FUN.
Another in-expensive fun - Watching Nursery rhymes on youtube and singing with it.
Oh and there are so many others to list. May be another time.
Lots of Hugs and Giggles and few tears.
