  1. Most of the balls have migrated outside, now that it’s nicer out. And — they always have plenty of fun throwing the pillows!

    Of course, I didn’t look under the couch and chair. That’s just too scary.

  2. OMG! My son just (to my horror!) discovered … guns! It’s a total fixation since we were visiting another pal of mine with an older boy. I’m hoping it passes. I’m a big fan of gun control … even the toys ones. Any advice for steering a 3 yr old away from the firearms?
