Since we only have a handful of baby toys, it's been really easy to spot his favorites. He likes two different noises best: crinkly bag sound (think a plastic shopping bag), and squeak noises. He has an organic (yes, organic) giraffe that Tony named Carlos- Carlos hangs from his car-seat and squeaks when I squeeze it for him. He flips for Carlos.
But the toy that Easton loves best makes his favorite crinkly sound and is in the shape of a book. He takes this "book" everywhere- he plays with it all day long.
Since he loves the "book" so much, I wanted to buy him another one. While we were at Buy Buy Baby, Tony stopped me before I got to the checkout with a similar toy in hand. He asked why I wanted to buy it when Easton already HAD one that he liked. It was a total reality check. It's like, if he has one- why does he need another one? He doesn't. If we want to keep Easton content with the things he has, we can't buy new stuff for him all the time. Lesson learned. Thanks, Tony!
The point of my post is this....my little guy is thriving- not because of the stuff he has, or the toys he likes to play with. He thrives because of the love, nourishment, and affection he gets. That, my friends...that, you can't buy in a stinkin store. (well, unless you use formula...) LOL.
