Non-ADD toys

Isaac has many toys. Not an overwhelming amount, mind you, but a respectable number for our small apartment with its limited storage space. However, we are continually reminded when we visit Clayton's house just how boring our toys are. When Isaac first got interested in toys, Dad and I adopted the Anti-ADD Toy Law -- that we would keep toys with an overabundance of flashy lights, loud and obnoxious sounds, and otherwise unnecessary electronics out of our house in hopes of promoting our baby's attention span. Clayton, on the other hand, has had the opportunity to be spoiled by his grandmas in this respect, and almost all of his toys flash lights, make crazy sounds, or even move of their own accord. We have been going over to Clayton's house a lot this week to play with his toys because *I* am bored with ours. How many times can you knock over a block tower in a day before it gets old? Quite a few, mind you, but there is a limit.

Clayton still comes over to play with our boring toys, though, and his excitement gives them new life. Here are some pictures of Isaac and Clayton playing with Mindy:

Blocks + pots + lids = hours of baby fun


Aunt Mindy shows Isaac pictures from his family book (now, be cool, there are also pictures of O'Neals and Uncles and Aunts in there, too...)

Forgot to add -- we are looking forward to see what the shameless toy-buying Grandmas have cooked up for us. Not to imply that we are pro-ADD toy here yet; we just need some variety.

Hi Grandma -- actually, Dad and I are of the consensus now that his hair has little-to-no red content in it anymore, and is strictly Ross-baby blonde. Like his mommy! See, I do get something!
