Don't Put em' Away Yet
You know all those toys you got for baby that she never really touched. Or going to the other extreme, the toys she played with like crazy but then just decided one day she was done?
Well, don't pack them away just yet.
My daughter rediscovers toys all the time. Even the smallest of baby rattles and begins playing with them again. Just the other night I hung the Leap Frog caterpillar on her crib. A toy she loved as an infant, she had lost interest in. Then the other day she pulled it out and started playing with it. Now when she wakes in the morning and does her quiet morning play with her stuff-ies she plays with the caterpillar as well. The same can be said for the Crib aquarium which we took off at about 7 months of age, because she kept creeping down underneath it at night and never used it. Now it helps get her back to sleep as well as entertain her.
Sure we have to pack some stuff up...it just gets out of control. But get your money's worth from those toys.
Just when you thought you had to go buy new...you may be able to simply reintroduce an oldie!
