Toys R Us...

Sunday i set out to buy my baby Toogums a new toy. I'm such a horrible toy buyer, In the Big Picture I honestly don't see the need to spend big bucks on toys that capture my sweetie's attention for a few moments when she will play with a plastic cup as though it was neatest thing invented. However, since I'm all caught up in consumerism and spoiling my Pookie Toogums rotten I ventured out to the Ole so famous Toys R Us. Immediately I was overwhelmed by the number of choices, I tried to narrow my search for the perfect toy by focusing in on her age groug (9 months) but Geez, all the toys are sooo complicated each one promising 40 different functions in English or Espanol, guaranteeing that my little one will be able enhance her development in 10 different ways and that of course the toy is easy to assemble and clean. So, after reading boxes and attempting to think things through I finally decided to just copy the choice my fellow consumer snagged for her bundle of joy. Once we were back at the house my hubby eagerly put the toy together (he's so funny, he goes at it as though I the item is for him), Pookie Toogums squealed with joy as she pounded on the activity center and made it light up and make all sorts of sound. Then 5 minutes later she was back to crawling on the floor with her faithful plastic cup. Hmm, next timeI think I'll just buy her a set of tupperware :)
