It's odd, but I'm thankful
This morning Daughter and I ventured to le Mart de Wal and, I can't believe this, but Daughter didn't want any toys.
She didn't beg, she didn't whine, she didn't carry on like some other kids do, she just politely declined everything she saw. I even tried to talk her into something, and she said "No, put it back."
What did Daughter finally really want? A book. Yes, a book. Dora the Explorer to be exact.
I kept remarking that she was an odd duck; most of the other kids in the store today were carrying on about this and that, but not Daughter. She got more excited in the automotive section when she saw the tires!
Don't get me wrong, while I'm shocked at her toy refusal, I'm really happy she wanted a book over everything else.

Wow, do you think it will last?! I've vowed not to buy the Branch and Blossom any more toys because they don't play with what they have. But books are another story, (heh, heh!). For one thing, "I" get bored reading the same books over and over!
I am so glad my parents taught me not to buy every piece of junk I see. I think I have actually thanked my mother for that!
