[blparent] toys toys toys!

[Veronica Smith]

I know other mother's like you, but for some reason I have trouble  tossing
the puzzles pieces away.  I know I should, there would be less stuff around,
but I just can't.  I would, though, love to throw away papers, but what is
on  them? v

Hi list.

When it comes to toys I have two things I look at.  If there is no
where for the toy to fit in my home, its out.  If a toy has sat in a
room for over three months and hasn't been touched by either child its
out and no one will even miss it.  Oh, and when blocks and small toys
hurt my feet their in the trash.

I'm one of those parents who believes there is  such a thing as too many
toys.

Hope this helps and good night.
Kate
