Indigo - in a way I am actually one of those parents too! I'd rather Gael didn't watch TV at all, but unfortunately DH didn't see my point and now we have an addicted toddler Mind you, he maybe watches only 15-20min per day and it's mainly animal videos and songs, so not too bad, but I am still surprised at how obssessed with it he is. I wonder if I should be concerned?
have you decided what to do re. your nephew's birth? when is the DD?
clio - re. toys - Gael has books, puzzles, shape sorters, blocks, instruments, stuffed animals and a few plastic toys that make awful sounds which I hate but he loves but I imagine J has all this already? If he's enjoying pretend play wouldn't he like a toy kitchen? we bought the Ikea one on offer as a xmas/birthday present. Ikea also does like a cardboard market stand which is less pricey
but your question made me think - when I buy him toys, I don't think I choose toys that teach him anything I just buy him things that I think he will enjoy somehow.
oh, except for the shape sorted and the puzzles
need to go
will try and write more later
