The Best Toys

I have come to realize over the years that the best kinds of toys have two things. "Oh, I know" you say: Bright colors, educational, interactive, name brand. NO, NO, NO, NO. The two things that make a toy great are: An off button and a volume control!!!!!! When purchasing toys for Chase and Mariah, I now look for those two things. If we are missing those two, I don't buy it. Toys now days seem to come in loud and louder, and without an off button they seem to make noises in the wee hours of the night. Try searching for a toy quietly, in the kids room, at 2 in the morning, without waking them up because the animal puzzle is going off and you don't want the loud sound of the elephant triumphantly trumpeting to wake up your peaceful beauty. All is well at the end of the day when all the toys are tucked neatly away with the off button. My thoughts exactly!!!!
