Zoe’s fave five toys

Posted by Dad…

Well after a year or two of watching the fave five commercials during daddy’s basketball games, Zoe has assembled her favorite five toys list:

1. Pie Chan and Gnon from Vulli Toys. Her fave toys to chew on – plus she recently gained the dexterityto make the squeakers work! Since Sophie the Giraffe is AWOL, these mushrooms have gained in popularity
2. Mrs. Pink Teddy Bear from the famous Ty Beanie Baby collection. Mrs. Bear greets Zoe every morning and doesnt mind being chewed on one bit!
3. Pop up books are so much fun! With chewable plasti-paper and semi easily detachable elements in fun cut-out shapes, these are the most entertaining, fulfilling and filling toys around! Nothing shuts Zoe up like a mouthful of good book!
4. Tags (on toys) also, noting fills a babies tummy up and quiets those teething pains like tags on toys. Much more fun and tasty than the toys themselves, Baby Einstein is (psychotic handicapable video puppets aside) famous for adding warning tag after warning tag to alert us parents to the ingredients and potential hazards of each and every component. the Baby Einstein Activity Mat is rife with chewilicious tags on each and every detachable piece!
5. Food. Not just for eating, food can be used as paste, glue, paint, stacking toys, projectile weapons and many more entertaining things! Plus, after filling up on toys and books, who wants asparagus or broccoli anyway?

Why do all my toys have daddy’s falsetto voice?

Something weird happened to me today – this morning I was playing with Mrs. Pink Teddy Bear while sitting on daddy’s lap and Mrs. Bear started moving her head around and saying, “Hello Zoe, How are you today?”

Teddy talking to me isn’t weird itself, every time I’m in daddy’s lap and playing with her, she speaks to me.

the odd thing happened later before breakfast – I was sitting with dad on the floor surrounded by all my new toys and all of a sudden, Sophie The Giraffe started asking me how my day was. You know what? All of a sudden I realized that Sophie, sounded just like Mrs. Bear!

Later on in the morning, Pie and Chan started asking me how my day was, and they too had the same voice! Do De Do Dooo … Do De Do Dooo …

So as I lay here in my crib pondering my morning, I ask myself why exactly it is that all my toys have the same voice ad ask me the same question? Well, other than the ones that flash and talk and play music to me ….

Wait, this only seems to happen when daddy is around too. More soon when I figure this out!
