why do we buy them any toys at all?

this is what my daughter has been doing for the past hour:  scattering cotton balls around the house and then excitedly urging her sister and me to go on a "cotton ball hunt!"

the other day, the two of them spent the entire afternoon in laundry basket boats with spatula oars, cruising to exotic ports of call.

next year for christmas? q-tips, old grocery bags, and dirt. there, i'm all set for '08.

One Christmas, a friend of mine gave her daughter a couple of boxes of toothpicks and a roll of masking tape!
