Dog baby toys

I wrote before about saving money with the baby by surviving on baby milk and towels. I recently come up with a further brainwave.

I`ll save money on expensive baby toys by buying dog toys that go squeak.

Reiko vetoed this the first time I proposed this screaming something about, “Not near my child…” and “What kind of madness is this?” but we`ll see what the baby thinks about it.

I`m a big believer in the “cardboard box more interesting than the toy” idea especially at a younger age.

The humble ball is the perfect example of this. There are thousands of games based around it. A beaten-up sponge ball keeps four twenty-something English teachers engrossed in an epic battle in an empty classroom during the lunch break.

And so in this frame of mind (insane) I will entertain her with dog toys. Just have to make sure she doesn`t bury them in the garden.

      No need to buy squeaky dog toys, the baby will make loads of noises that sound like that anyways :) Other than that I completely agree on the concept that the simplest toy is often the best toy - until children get to the age where sadly their social standing in their peer group is affected by not having the right stuff. Sigh…
      When is your baby due? I just had mine on 30 April and things will never be the same again. All the best!!!
